When we mention Ireland, which is near from United Kingdom, most of us usually forget the formal country name of Ireland is "Republic of Ireland". The reason why we can't tend to say this correct name is, for Thai people, it is very hard to divide (because may be the sounds of each countries's name hear like a same or all these three countries are located in the close area) the country between Ireland and Northern Ireland, and Iceland. As we know, these three countries are all different, because of Independence movement.
