I was distinguishing it as such because you seem to be having difficulty separating the two yourself

I am fully aware of the differences as I spent a lot of time there

No, I refer to Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland in all my posts.
I have no difficulty in separating the two.
You are the one who made a mistake calling the Republic of Ireland; Southern Ireland.
If you spent a lot of time in in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, then you should know better. One never refers to the Republic of Ireland as Southern Ireland.
You made a mistake, and I corrected you.

Exactly Sean .... why do you keep getting personal, eh?
I have not made a mistake. To explain For 25 years I owned and ran an International freight company that shipped to both countries (and had an office in Dublin) and in fact all over Europe so I have a very good grasp of the geography of Europe thanks

Now get over it and stop spoiling the thread, eh.

Thank you
