Comhairle,

It is a simple fact that the Northernmost part of Northern Ireland is more Southernly of the Republic of Ireland, therefore it is a factual inaccuracy to call Northern Ireland, Northern. Instead it should be called Eastern Ireland, due to the Easternmost point of the landmass that is Ireland, being found in Northern Ireland rather than the Republic.

I hope this chamber can back this simple name change.
