I'll be in Ireland, which is not part of the United Kingdom, Mark.

{Ed033's Note - If we used the term Northern Ireland and Eire, then no one should be confused, don't you think Rian :)

If you're speaking Irish, Eire is appropriate to describe Ireland. If you're speaking English it's not a great fit in the same way you wouldn't say England beat Deutschland 2-0 last week.
Northern Ireland consists of six counties and unfortunately is part of the United Kingdom. The other 26 counties in Ireland are not.
Mark seems to have difficulty differentiating between Ireland and Northern Ireland. Lots of English people share this difficulty. It's not their fault. It's down to what they are taught in school.
