The proper term for what people call southern Ireland is the Republic of Ireland. The most southerly point of Ireland is Mizen Head, in Co. Cork which is in the Republic of Ireland. The most northerly point of Ireland is Malin Head, in Co. Donegal, which is also in the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 of Ireland's 32 counties, but neither the most northerly or southerly point of Ireland is in Northern Ireland. The most westerly point is also in the Republic of Ireland, in Co. Kerry, but the most easterly point is in Co. Down in Northern Ireland.

What country is Southern Ireland com?
Southern Ireland is an incorrect term for what is the Republic of Ireland, officially known as Ireland or Éire in the Irish language. Northern Ireland does exist, and for this reason people often use the term Southern Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 counties that are in the north-east of Ireland. In fact, the most northerly point on the island of Ireland is not in Northern Ireland. It is Malin Head, which is in county Donegal, which is one of the 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. See the map below in the related links, which shows all the counties of Ireland, with the 6 from Northern Ireland enclosed by the red line.
Are Ireland and Northern Ireland different countries?
Yes. They were the same country and both ruled by Britain for hundreds of years until the early 1920's when after much effort and fighting from the Irish to achieve independance Britain agreed to partition the Island and recognise the Republic's independance but remain in control of some counties in the northeast. There was a civil war in Ireland over whether this treaty should be accepted, but the pro-treaty side won, so the country was partitioned. In more recent times Northern Ireland have set up an local parliament (like in Scotland and Wales) where local issues are dealt with. However, it remains part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (despite the fighting in Northern Ireland) and the UK is a separate country from the Republic. Northern Ireland is ruled by Great Britain The Republic of Ireland is not.

County Donegal is in the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland. See the map at the link below which shows the counties of the Republic of Ireland in green, and the counties of Northern Ireland in a tan colour.
