Maybe we should have Ireland and the title in Ulster-Scots too? Maybe not, but ya know... - Dalta 17:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Anyway, where's the Shelta? At least as deserving of inclusion. Palmiro | Talk 21:00, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Given there is now a Portal:Northern Ireland, would it not be reasonable to refactor Portal:Ireland to be specifically for the Republic of Ireland? Or does it require a subportal as well?-- cj | talk 09:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I created the Portal for two reasons:
I see no reason that a separate portal and/or notice board be developed for the interest specifically of the Republic of Ireland, as there is also a United Kingdom related notice board and a UK Portal. -- Mal 11:35, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm not too sure on my feelings about that tbh. I'll explain some of my rationale though.
Firstly, there may be some who object to the Ireland portal not including Northern Ireland - for historical and political reasons (namely nationalists). And you might run into naming problems. For myself, Ireland has a long and shared history. In that sense I see it as no different from there being a UK portal, and portals for each of the four regions. As there is shared history between the four regions of the UK, then a top-hierarchy UK portal kind of seems logical as a means of collaborating on topics and articles that are indeed shared.
The same applies to Ireland being another hierarchial level to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. While, for example, topics about the Republic's involvement in the EU are not particularly relevant to NI, an article about Brian Boru (for example) is applicable to both.
Having just outlined my thoughts above, I think I have therefore come to the conclusion that I would object to the former, and favour the latter. What do you think, having read my 'rationale'? -- Mal 05:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Dia Duit. Added this comment only to say ye're now in fellowship! ;) In it.wiki I opened a new portal for Ireland here. We could help each other sharing knowledges, resources, photos and other material. ;) Slán Kanchelskis
I guess a LOT of people might find it inapropriate to have the ryanairarticle on that place! This is abuse of Wikipedia > Matthias, Berlin --- oh i understand its a selected article and will be replaced soon.... :)
Being the metapedian I am, I thought it would be nice to have a different font on the page. I'm at a loss as to the name of the one I'm thinking of, but what does everyone think? — $ΡЯΙNGεrαgђ (- ¢| ε| Ŀ| T| ♪-) 15:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
How would other's feel about moving this portal to Portal:Republic of Ireland and recreating Portal:Ireland as a disambiguation page (cf. Portal:Football) pointing to the new portal and Portal:Northern Ireland?-- cj | talk 20:45, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
How about we use the Saltire or the four province flag and get rid of the presidential standard on the front page? They could be seen, because they are, a little nationalist and anti-unionist. - Dalta 16:44, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
What do people think of the flag of Leinster or the four provinces flag per Flag of Ireland to represent Ireland rather than the old British flag we're currently using? -- Pauric ( talk- contributions) 16:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
