> Eire

A nitpick, because it's often a dogwhistle: but almost nobody in Ireland calls it that when speaking English. And that's still incorrect in Irish, the correct spelling is Éire.

By saying it's a dogwhistle are you saying that not adding the correct diacritics is considered racist by Irish people? If I change the rest of the sentence to Na Gaeilge will that be better.
