Shouldn't Free Derry be added to the list of "See also" at the bottom of the template on this article? ie Confederate Ireland | Republic of Connaught | Éire | Northern Ireland | Republic of Munster

Free Derry was a de facto independent state like the Republic of Connacht, etc. It lasted around a year, so maybe it should be added? Republoic of Wexford as well?

It would have as much validity as RoC and RoM. --sony-youth^talk 22:29, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some questions regarding the recent changes to Northern Ireland in this template:

• Did Northern Ireland cease to be a sate in 1972?
  • If so, could it be considered a state from 1972 to present?
  • Or, was it subsumed once into the UK state?
• Should the recent changes to Northern Ireland be considered as the creation of a new state?
  • If so, is 1998 the stating point for this state?

The Devolved Northern Ireland House of Commons and Senate setup by the partition of Ireland in 1920/21 was disolved by the British government and direct rule return to Westminster, so it was a change in the constitutional status in that regard.--padraig3uk 20:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
