I cannot answer your specific questions, but the full name of Ireland is
simply "Ireland".   It is correct to call it "the republic of Ireland"
(lower case r), since its name is Ireland and it is a republic.

The Irish Constitution states (in English, Article 4):

# The name of the State is Éire, or in the English language, Ireland.

This is generally interpreted to mean that using "Éire" is only
correct when speaking or writing in Irish.

In any case "The Republic of Ireland" is a football team, not a country.
