[OSM-talk-ie] name=Éire / Ireland

[Neil O'Byrne]

The Irish euro coins just have Éire.  So maybe name=Éire and int_name=Ireland

Hi,

https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/62273

Someone has set the name of the (Republic of) Ireland to "Éire / Ireland". Whatever about Irish constitutional nuances, OSM usually uses one field=one piece of data. I'm inclined to change it to name=Ireland, given that Ireland is the name that most people use.

Separately, there is the matter of lots of the international translations are of "Republic of Ireland" instead of "Ireland". Does anyone have thoughts on how to deal with potential grammatical issues in rationalising these?

Colm
