Éire is the Modern Irish version of the same thing (Just as България was written.spelt differently in Old Church Slavonic) 2020-03-21T21:13:57Z Comment by Bulgarian History Podcast @fergusjohnston: Hey Fergus, I'm curious to hear more. The argument here is that Bulgaria was a single Kingdom referred to by the name "Bulgaria". I'm not as familiar with Irish history but when was the first state called Éire? If this fact is wrong I'm happy to correct it. 2020-03-08T10:11:28Z Comment by Fergus Johnston This is untrue, and I'm tired of hearing it repeated. Ireland was extant as a kingdom of kingdoms for centuries before this. 2020-03-08T09:46:31Z
