What country is Ireland?

The Republic of Ireland, referred to as "Ireland", is a parliamentary republic in Western Europe. Its six northern counties still belong to the United Kingdom.

In April 1949, after Ireland declared the establishment of a republic, it voluntarily withdrew from the Commonwealth. Although Ireland has not reapplied to join the Commonwealth, it retains many of its membership rights and enjoys a special status within the United Kingdom. On April 18, 1949, Britain recognized Ireland's independence, but the six northern counties still belonged to the United Kingdom.

In 1955, Ireland joined the United Nations and at the same time cooperated with the United Kingdom to resolve the violent conflict in Northern Ireland. The Belfast Agreement (English: Belfast Agreement) passed by voters in Ireland and Northern Ireland in 1998 is currently being implemented.
