Football in the Republic of Ireland → Football in the Republic of Ireland (disambiguation) — To this point to Association football in the Republic of Ireland, as the most likely article the user was searching for. (Note that there is no Gaelic football in the Republic of Ireland article.) We can add an otheruses hatnote to the target article as well. JaGatalk 12:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
- Support Association football is pretty much the only major sport in which the Republic and Northern Ireland compete separately, and so have different articles. In most other sports, Ireland is represented by a single team. The Celestial City (talk) 16:28, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Change to DAB
The word football is ambiguous and this should be a dab Gnevin (talk) 23:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
- I think this is the primary topic, though (and although it might seem that it doesn't really matter since no-one's likely to type in this phrase, notice that other articles on "Football in...", at least in this part of the world, refer to association football - usually without even a hatnote about any other kinds - so people are going to expect the soccer-in-Ireland article to be under this title. Anyway, in the unlikely event of anyone seeking info on Gaelic football, or even less likely on rugby, under this title, they'll get there just as fast from the existing hatnote as they would from any dab page.)--Kotniski (talk) 05:14, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
