why is this article necessary? Surely this information would be better contained in Climate of Ireland. 86.40.181.112 ( talk) 02:15, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
It's presumably poltically motivated given the current existence of northern ireland as a separate state to the republic of ireland. Nature surely doesn't care about such petty human boundaries: Ireland (Hibernia) is one island, and differs from north to south climate-wise even less than the island of Britannia does.
Climate of Northern Ireland: "Ever so slightly colder on average than further south in Ireland." Geez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.14.42 ( talk) 03:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
The very existence of the article is political commentary.
And actually, the climate of ireland article is clearly about the whole island, as you can see from the graphs etc. What's more, Met Eireann routinely covers the whole island of ireland. http://www.met.ie/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.14.42 ( talk) 18:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I suggest this article be merged with
Climate of Ireland. The arguments have already been pointed out above. This is a geographical article about weather and climate. Nature is not confined by political boundaries. Met Éireann very often covers the whole island, and combining their data with those of the Met Office shouldn't be difficult at all. Furthermore, both articles already have very similar information.
Opinions?

Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland are two different countries. If you guys have the view that just due to political reasons it is keeping the article about the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland being merged then i think you should think about the climate stats for places like Andorra! How come Andorras climate stats is not merged with Spain or France? Different country therefore different climate pages. This is also a stupid argument. Just leave it the way it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.208.132 ( talk) 16:42, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Just merge it and call the article Climate of Éire, as Éire is the Irish name for the island of Ireland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.230.186 ( talk) 21:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Scientifically there is no reason to treat N.Irl and Rep Irl seperately. The climate, biota, geology etc can all reasonably be regarded as being the same, though distinct from Britain. However wikipedia is a human invention, and humans like their categories. If someone wants to maintain a separate page on Northern Ireland then so be it. Making mountains out of molehills, oceans out of puddles is a characteristic of sectarian divides, so see it for what it is, not for what it purports to be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.157.1.184 ( talk) 09:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
This article has been merged with Climate of Ireland. This brings it in line with the Geography of Ireland page, focusing on the island as a whole. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whereabouts987 ( talk • contribs) 08:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
As I see it there are 2 parts to this dispute:
I shall address each separately. Fmph ( talk) 07:34, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
For example, the maximum/minimum temperatures recorded are different for the Republic and for Northern Ireland so what gives you the right to delete one over the other? Seamus48 ( talk) 22:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
The contents of this page have been replaced with a redirect to Ireland without consensus and against the wishes of editors who have clearly stated objections above. The page has been repeatedly targetted by several users, who may be sock puppets of the same user, who wish to force their will on the matter. If I revert from the redirect, I will be blocked for edit warring. Please revert and restore the contents of this page and also Climate of northern ireland (lower case) to redirect here.
