'''Eire''' (pia: '''Ireland''', '''Ayalandi'''; kwa [[Kiingereza]] mara nyingi '''Republic of Ireland''') ni [[nchi ya kisiwani]] katika [[funguvisiwa la Britania]] ya [[Ulaya]].
 
Eire ilitawaliwa na [[Uingereza]] hadi mwaka [[1922]]. [[Eire ya Kaskazini|Sehemu ya kaskazini]] ya [[kisiwa]] imebaki kama sehemu ya [[Ufalme wa Muungano]] (pamoja na Uingereza, [[Uskoti]] na [[Welisi]]).  

[[Mji mkuu]] ni [[Dublin]].

== Jiografia ==
Kijiografia Eire ni [[kisiwa]] kilichogawiwa kati ya Jamhuri ya Eire inayokalia sehemu kubwa ya kisiwa na [[Eire ya Kaskazini|Northern Ireland]] ambayo ni [[jimbo]] la [[Ufalme wa Maungano]]. Kisiwa chote kina eneo la [[km²]] 84,421 na 83% zake ni Jamhuri ya Eire. 

Upande wa [[magharibi]] kuna [[Bahari ya Atlantiki]], upande wa [[mashariki]] [[Bahari ya Eire]] inayokitenga na kisiwa cha [[Britannia]].

==Jiografia==
[[Kitovu]] cha kisiwa kuna [[tambarare]] inayozungukwa nje upande wa [[pwani]] na vilima. 

[[Mlima]] mrefu zaidi ni [[Carrauntoohil]] wenye [[kimo]] cha [[mita]] 1,038.

[[Mto]] mkubwa ni [[Shannon]] ambao kutoka kaskazini unaelekea [[kusini]]. Kwenye [[tambarare]] ya katikati kuna ma[[ziwa]] kadhaa. 

[[Hali ya hewa]] inaathiriwa na Atlantiki: ni ya wastani, hakuna [[baridi]] kali wala [[joto]] kali.

[[Bahari]] inaleta [[mvua]] nyingi na hivyo Eire huitwa "Kisiwa cha Kijani".

[[Miji]] mikubwa ni [[Dublin]] (wakazi [[milioni]] 1), [[Cork]] (watu 190,000), [[Limerick]] (90,000), [[Galway]] (72,000) na [[Waterford]] (49,000).

==Historia==
Kwa [[karne]] kadhaa Eire ilitawaliwa na [[Uingereza]]. 

[[Sheria]] ya mwaka [[1800]] iliunganisha Ufalme wa Britania Kuu na Ufalme wa Eire na hivyo kuunda [[Ufalme wa Muungano]] (United Kingdom of Great Britan and Ireland).

Baada ya [[Vita vya uhuru vya Eire]] [[bunge]] la [[London]] kwa sheria ya mwaka [[1920]] (Government of Ireland Act 1920) liligawa Ireland katika sehemu mbili za Northern Ireland na Southern Ireland. 

Wabunge waliochaguliwa katika Ireland ya Kusini walijitangaza kuwa bunge la Eire na kwa mapatano ya mwaka [[1922]] [[uhuru]] wa Eire ulitambuliwa. Nchi mpya ilijiita tangu [[1937]] "Jamhuri ya Eire" na kuendelea kama nchi ya pekee. 

Baada ya [[uhuru]] wa sehemu kubwa ya [[kisiwa]] hicho, [[Eire ya Kaskazini|ile ya kaskazini-mashariki]] imebaki kama sehemu ya [[Ufalme wa Muungano]]. 

==Watu==
Wakazi walio wengi (82.2%) ni Waeire asili, [[Wazungu]] wengine ni 9.5%, [[Waasia]] 2.1%, [[Waafrika]] 1.2% n.k.

Wengi hutumia [[lugha]] ya [[Kiingereza]] lakini lugha ya [[Kieire]] ni lugha ya kwanza ya [[taifa]]. Kinazungumzwa katika maeneo kadhaa ya [[Kijiji|vijijini]] na hufundishwa [[shule]]ni, lakini kutokana na [[uhamiaji]], [[Kipolandi]] kina wasemaji wengi zaidi.

Upande wa [[dini]], 78.3% ni [[Wakatoliki]] na 4.2% ni [[Wakristo]] wa [[madhehebu]]ya [[Uprotestanti]] na 1.3% ni [[Waorthodoksi]]. Ushiriki wa [[ibada]] ni wa juu sana. [[Waislamu]] ni 1.3% na 9.8% hawana dini.
