I've no problem with the term myself as it's logically derived from the name Northern Ireland as a complementary way for distinguishing the two entities. IMO people that say it generally aren't trying to make a political point.
Always find Eire has a derogatory connotation when used by people from Britian. It could just be my insecurity though.I always put Eire...thought everyone did!
Did anyone ever write "Occupied Ireland" when posting to the Northern Ireland?A friend of mine who use to be a member of SF always insisted on addressing his letters to me from London with "Irish Free State".

I find it irritating as I don't understand why they call it that . . .they're speaking English after all! Never found it derogatory just annoying.
