Term doesn't make sense

It says in the article that this refers to Northen Ireland,which isn't an island. Dermo69 18:56, 6 Febuary 2007 (UTC)

The law, as the quote goes, is an ass - but there you go. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passed the law, so who are the rest of us to argue? Man vyi 21:03, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It is part of Ireland, which is partly British in a political context and fully British in a geographical one. So it does make sense. YourPTR! 19:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Dermo was making the point that NI is not an island (British Islands). He was not saying that it is not British (British Islands). In any case, it a term of convienceience that just peels back British Isles (origianlly Islands, also), whether it is linguistically accurate is irrevelent under law. --sony-youth^pléigh 08:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
