Ireland, Éire or the Republic? Official files show debate over name of the State

The memo pointed out that the term Republic of Ireland is the “description” and not the name of the State and that in no circumstances was the term Republic of Ireland to be used for the State.

Mr Ellis’s solicitors appealed the original District Court order for his extradition to the Supreme Court. Though he was ultimately unsuccessful, the three-judge Supreme Court called attention to the use of the phrase “Republic of Ireland” in the arrest warrants issued by the British authorities. Mr Murray came up with a compromise which he said would be legally valid. All legal documents emanating from England, Scotland or Wales should use the term Ireland in the address – eg, 20 Ringsend Road, Dublin 4, Ireland – but all legal documents emanating from the North should omit the name of the State completely.
