Usage notes
nb Irland denotes both the island and the sovereign state. When the distinction is important, the forms øya Irland (“the island of Ireland”) and republikken Irland (“the Republic of Ireland”) may be used.
The official Norwegian name of the state is simply nb Irland. Republikken Irland is a descriptive form used to distinguish the state from the island or from nb Nord-Irland.
