Are you talking about Éire? Or did you make a spelling error and mean an island off the British coast, like the Isle of Wight, for example?
That is what it is all about, it is constantly revised to suit the prevailing mood of the people.FFS.
I was taught at school about the 'Indian mutiny' .
In India today, that historical event is referred to as the Indian war of independence.
Unlike science there are no absolute truths.

Of course there are.
No,Eire is the Gaelic name for Ireland.
The term Ire land is pre Gaelic .
As I have pointed out , the earliest maps of the British Isles show clearly that Ireland was inhabited by British speaking tribes.

Doesn't the title "Great Britain and NI" give you a clue?
He said Ireland is in the British isles which according to this it is.
According to Wikipedia it's not and never has been in the British Isles, nor in Great Britain.

But Britannica differs.
It does place Ireland in the British Isles, but still not part of Great Britain, nor has it ever been.
Vinty said is Ireland within the British Isles true or false he didn't say it was part of Great Britain.
Vinty was hoping to trick the credulous by conflating two similar terms with different meanings. It's possible he is so stupid that he doesn't know the difference, but I expect someone has told him.
California is in America.
Mexico is in North America.
Is Mexico in America?
