Out of interest, why have most of the islands in Northern Ireland been removed from this article? Ben W Bell 10:40, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Little Island on the River Suir is not on this list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.109.7 ( talk) 09:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I've added a column to the table and merged the large and small islands tables; I don't see the value in separating them. It should be possible to get the areas and heights, at least of the smaller islands, from the OSI historical layer; the old 6-inch and 25-inch maps have area in acres roods and perches. I think for larger islands this might amount to WP:OR.
I want to reorder the main table as it used to be, directionally and by group. The table sortability doesn't facilitate that, whereas it does allow alphabetical sorting by name, so having the latter as the default doesn't add any value. The pending reorderng is also the reason I didn't bothered collating the rows of the two tables when I merged them :) jnestorius( talk) 20:27, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
A editor has raised the question of removing the ability to pipe link the title of the British Isles template. Currently, on this page, it pipe links as [[British Isles|Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man]]. The editor would like this ability to be removed.

Cannon Rock is depicted on the 1:50,000 scale OSNI map of the area (sheet 21 'Strangford Lough') at grid ref J684536 and does indeed appear to be, as its article says, the easternmost of all of the island of Ireland's rocks. Its depiction on the map does however suggest that, in common with countless other skerries, it is submerged at high tide. The introductory text to the list of islands might include wording on the inclusion such features. Most skerries would not feature in such a list but this one is notable IMO. cheers Geopersona ( talk) 06:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Like all List pages, this one should specify its criteria for inclusion. Possible criteria:
There's also the question of how to list groups of small islands: combined or separately. jnestorius( talk) 14:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
It would be helpful to have a category for the country. List of islands of the United Kingdom provides its islands of Ireland, however looking for islands of the Republic of Ireland is not covered anywhere I think. Regards, Rob ( talk) 11:33, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
The title of the article doesn't really make sense. Islands can't be 'of' another island, unless they are within it. You could say, islands of France, since there are islands that are part of France, but the only islands that are part of Ireland are those within its lakes. I'd recommend moving this article to List of islands off the coast of Ireland, List of islands surrounding Ireland, or List of islands of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Let's distinguish the following components...:
...and the following combinations...:
I think @ Rob984: is assuming that the label "Ireland" may denote #1 or #2 but not #3. I do not agree; in fact, I believe #3 is far more likely to be the intended meaning than #2 of any randomly-encountered use of the word "Ireland". From the Anglo-Saxons to 1922, "Ireland" by default would mean #3; if you needed to exclude offshore islands you would have to specify "mainland" or the like. The 1922 partition did not abolish #3 as a concept, just its existence as a political unit. The 1937 constitution muddied the waters by adding meaning #1 to the mix, and the 1998 changes didn't unmuddy them. The phrase "island of Ireland" has come into use since 1998 for #3 to distinguish it from #1; a literal interpretation of "island of Ireland" would favour #2 over #3 as the meaning, but that is not in fact what it means in practice (compare the literal and usual interpretations of "British Isles"). There is a general disagreement on Wikipedia article names about whether to give priority to meaning #1 or meaning #3 of "Ireland" (see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Ireland article names), but AFAIK nobody has argued in favour of meaning #2. jnestorius( talk) 14:59, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
There are four post-1960 books known to Worldcat named "islands of Ireland" or similar, and all deal with sea islands rather than inland islands. jnestorius( talk) 14:59, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Nice job on article. for the coord templates, "|name=Island name" needs to be in every coordinate for it to show up on the GeoGroup map.
