I'm not from Ireland but apparently in 1948 they declared that the name of the state should officially be "Republic of Ireland" and did not amend the constitution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Irish_state https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_the_Irish_state http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1948/act/22/section/2/enacted/en/html#zza22y1948s2 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1948/act/22/section/2/ena...

No, they declared "Republic of Ireland" to be an official _description_, not the official name. The name is specified near the beginning of the constitution as Éire, or in the English language, Ireland [1], in article 4, and would require an amendment to change. And while we do them way more often than the US does, we haven't done one for this topic. 1: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/d5bd8c-constitution-of-ireland/ https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/d5bd8c-constitution-of-ire...
