The answer to the question might as
well be yes. If they
move to the
UK, they have full UK voting
rights.
In the UK, we
normally call
Southern Ireland Eire (deprecated),
the Republic, or the
Irish
Republic.

the
status of the _Southern_ part, i.e.
Eire, i.e. the Republic of
Ireland.

speaking
of *both* the north and south.
Misinformation certainly can
spark
a conflict.

> If you say "Ireland" without
an
adjective, then you mean either the
whole island or the Irish
state
alone, i.e. the Republic,
_excluding the Northern
part_.
Informally, all the world calls the
independent state
"Ireland"
ignoring the political overtones of
such usage (the Irish
Constitution
also says "The name of the State is
Eire, or in the English
language,
Ireland", but this is a political
statement, the North being
regarded
as Irish national territory
currently under
British
occupation).

Dublin,
Ireland, try stepping into a pub
and loudly asking the folks
inside

Dubliners apparently hate
the British (err, English, err The
Royals),
eah?
