I think `name=Ireland` is best. For `name`, the most commonly used name
in the place for the thing is what it should be. And, whatever one
things /should be/ the most common name, I think we can all agree that
what /is/ the most common name is “Ireland”.
`int_name` is a silly tag. I haven't heard of a good definition of that
aside from “Name of the country in English”, which wronly prioritises
English. Why not `int_name=جزيرة أيرلندا`?

The Irish euro coins just have Éire. So maybe name=Éire and int_name=Ireland

Hi,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/62273
Someone has set the name of the (Republic of) Ireland to "Éire / Ireland".
Whatever about Irish constitutional nuances, OSM usually uses one field=one piece of
data. I'm inclined to change it to name=Ireland, given that Ireland is the name that most
people use.
Separately, there is the matter of lots of the international translations are of "Republic of
Ireland" instead of "Ireland". Does anyone have thoughts on how to deal with
potential grammatical issues in rationalising these?
Colm
