== Foreign relations of the Republic of Ireland ==

I came across this page by accident. There are only two real pages linking to [[Foreign relations of the Republic of Ireland]] (ignoring redirects etc.) &ndash; [[The Royal Hospital, Kilmainham]] and [[List of Ireland-related topics]].

What should be on this page, what should its title be ([[Foreign relations of Ireland]] is unused), and what should link to it?

I suggest there is no point spending valuable time until the last point above is addressed - there is little or no point to fixing up a page no-one will see.

:Can't really see the point in having a separate page unless major expansion too place, and even then it's probably not the best place for it.  I say merge the content into [[History of Ireland]]/[[History of the Republic of Ireland|Rep of Ireland]] or [[Politics of the Republic of Ireland]] or [[Economy of Ireland]] as appropriate and redirect the few incoming links as well.  Leave a stub or redirect to one of the above or [[Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs]]. (or is all that just called merge and delete!) [[User:Jlang|jlang]] 17:45, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:Having been an active wikipedian for nearly a year and used it before this I never cease to be amazed how little people attempt to publise often good articles - many of the articles on [[Wikipedia:Irish wikipedians' notice board/to do]] have less than five links - part of the process of placing them here should be ''providing relevent specific links'' - Their are many other Irish-related articles in a similar situation. As for "history of Ireland" articles, rewriting them could take a considerable effort - thats why I recommend stearing clear of them!
: Should [[Wikipedia:Categorization]] and [[Irish topics]] reform should be a priority in itself? [[User:Djegan|Djegan]] 22:45, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
