Ireland was an island off the northwestern coast of the European continent on Earth. Its capital city was called Dublin.

Ireland was also the name of a country on this island. The island was divided for some time, with the north-east being held by Old Britain. In 2024, Ireland was reunited as a result of violence used as a political instrument. This event became known as the Irish Unification of 2024. (TNG: "The High Ground") Ireland's flag was three vertical bands of green, white, and orange. (ENT: "First Flight")

In 2143, the Ariane 1 assignment patch, which was on display in the 602 Club, bore the flag of ESA member Ireland. (ENT: "First Flight")

In 2151 the students of the Worley Elementary School in the Irish town of Kenmare sent Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew aboard Enterprise NX-01 letters with questions about day to day life and operations on the ship. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")

Kevin Riley was born in Ireland. While under the influence of the Psi 2000 intoxication, he demonstrated his national pride by singing and making situationally inappropriate remarks. (TOS: "The Naked Time")

Finnegan was an Irishman who bullied James T. Kirk at Starfleet Academy around 2252.(TOS: "Shore Leave")

Miles O'Brien was born in Ireland in 2328. His family lived in Dublin when O'Brien served aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Homefront", "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places") O'Brien claimed to be a descendant of the Irish king Brian Boru. (DS9: "Bar Association")

In 2373, Enrique Muñiz told O'Brien that Ireland did not have mountains, it had hills. (DS9: "The Ship")

Kathryn Janeway's dog Mollie was an Irish Setter, a breed of dog native to Ireland. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Shattered")

In 2376, Kathryn Janeway and other members of the USS Voyager crew enjoyed visiting Fair Haven (Cuan Soineanta in Irish), a holodeck creation of a 19th century Irish village. Tom Paris created the simulation. Janeway stated that she had interest in Irish culture.

-The line concerning Irish reunification through [[terrorism]] resulted in {{e|The High Ground}} being cut from first-run transmission in the UK by [[BBC]], and for several years was never shown by the BBC or the Irish state broadcaster [[RTÉ]]. It was later broadcast on [[Sky One]] in second run syndication, although the specific line referencing Ireland remained censored.

+* '''Music''':
-In reality, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland ("''Bunreacht na hÉireann''"), enacted by referendum pursuant to the terms of the Belfast Agreement, while establishing the codification within Republic of Ireland law of a binational aspiration for the ultimate reunification of the Irish people into one Irish nation throughout the entire island of Ireland, it is to be achieved, if ever, by peaceful means only. Although the country of Northern Ireland remains a difficult issue in the governance of the United Kingdom, as long as the sectarian majority in Northern Ireland continues to express a preference to remain a constituent country of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland is more than likely to remain British. However, since the inception of Northern Ireland in 1922, the United Kingdom has taken as its legal name the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", recognizing at least a nominal distinctness of Northern Ireland from the other constituent countries of the United Kingdom.
