Is New York part of Mexico??

Dublin is the capital City of the Republic of Ireland.
This country has no relationship with the UK whatsoever.

Ireland is as different from the UK as the USA is from the moon.

Here we go again...Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland. Therefore it is not part of the UK. Ireland is NOT in Great Britain. Ireland is a seperate island comprising two countries - the Republic and Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is in the UK. Northern Ireland is NOT Ulster. Ulster is nine counties. NI is six.

Don't say that to an Irish! It's the same you ask a canadian if Toronto is part of the USA...

ok I'm Irish so I know the correct answer. Please all you others stop reading answers from websites and putting rubbish on here!!!!!!

there is no such place as southern ireland. We live in the Republic of Ireland. Ireland has 32 counties, 26 of which form the Republic. The other six Down Derry Antrim Armagh Tyrone and Fermanagh currently are part of the UK. These six counties together form Northern Ireland which is a part of the United Kingdom.

The Republic of Ireland is not a sovereign country and is not part of the commonwealth.

Dublin is the capital of the Republic and is not part of the UK and never will be/

I find some of these questions scary. Surely it is clear from any atlas which country is which.

Wonder

NO. Ireland is an independant nation.

The Questioner

This question never ceases to amaze me. I have been asked this many times in England, from Bank managers , Professors in 3rd level education etc. Many think we are part of the U. K. others think Belfast is part of Scotland. A teacher of geography told his pupils all of whom were from England, that the Irish flag we were flying in a campsite next to his schools campsite was the french flag, and he started speaking to us in French, so I replied in Irish. That was some years ago, but it took him a full 5 minutes, looking up his french dictionary to try and find out what I had said to him, after that I walked away, and for all I know he may still be looking in his French/English dictionary.
Ireland is an Island off the Coast of Europe. At it's most Northerly point it is about 50 miles from Scotland. It has 32 counties, 26 of which are in the Republic of Ireland, which is an independent Nation, and a full member of the E.U. Then 6 of its North Eastern Counties form Northern Ireland, which is at present still part of the present United Kingdom. It has it's own power sharing Assembly, and Government. Power is now shared between those who wish to retain the link with the
U.K, and those who wish to be part of the Nation of Ireland.
Who knows what the future will hold, we cannot say, but both parts of Ireland are continuing to draw closer together for the good of all. There are official meetings between N.I, and R.O.I. ministers, and also there is an East/ West forum between Representatives from the U.K. Wales, Scotland, N.I. and R.O.I. the Isle of Man. Jersey, and Guernsey, to discuss matters of mutual Interest. Ireland is not one of the British Isles, it is however, part of the British/ Irish isles off the mainland of Europe.
To Answer your Question, Dublin is the Capital City of the Republic of Ireland, the Republic is not Southern Ireland, indeed the most northerly County in Ireland is in the Republic.
Eire is the name of the country in the Irish language, and therefore it should only be used if speaking in Irish. However, it has been used in a derogatory way over the years by many in the British press, when running a story which tried to show us as little people running around in funny green hats etc. on the other hand if an Irish person did well in sport, world affairs, etc. etc. then suddenly we were British again, according to the same papers.
I certainly feel that when asked questions about their next door neighbour, many British, in particular English, people are not Smarter than a 10 year old.

slipstreamer

No, it's the capital of the Republic. N. Ireland is part of the UK. Look it up on any map, clearly marked.

(If you are a fellow American I think I might be obligated to slap you)

AON

In Ireland we have an expression that uses two affirmatives to imply a negative answer...

So in answer to you question above

Ya, Right..

Nat

No, Dublin is the capital of Ireland. There is a part of Northern Ireland that is a part of the UK, but Dublin is not included in that.

I should be doing something else

As of 1922 Dublin is no longer part of the UK and never will be. It is on the island of Ireland which is one of the British Isles which might be where the confusion is coming from.

Hope this helps =]

Martina L

No, it's the capital of the Republic of Ireland.

Dublin is the Capital City of Eire, or Ireland, Ireland is an Independent country. Ulster (Northern Ireland) is part of the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland.

No, Dublin is officially the capital of the Republic of Ireland, which is not part of the UK.

That said, Dublin is the Irish city that has the most English 'feel' to it, especially when compared to other Irish cities like Galway, Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny or Waterford.

Dan

No, it is in the Republic of Ireland, which isn't part of the United Kingdom. It is however part of the Great Britain islands, though this doesn't give it any national ties to the UK.

ps - Northern Ireland isn't a county of Ireland, it is its own country! which is half the reason there is trouble there.

Ireland is an island made up of two countries- Northern Ireland (which is part of the UK) and Southern Ireland (or Eire) which is independent.

Dublin is in Southern Ireland, so they use the Euro and have their own laws, taxes, education system and health care system (amongst other things).

Generally, you can travel between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland relatively easily, although you might need photographic ID/ passport

Wee Scottish Chris

Technically yes. Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales make up the UK. Northern Ireland is seperate but kind of not. Its tricky.
