I propose making certain wording changes in respect of the word "state" as currently used in the article. The Government of Ireland Act 1920 provided for the establishment of, and the devolution of certain powers to, two Parliaments in Ireland. It did not, however, establish two new "states" as far as that term is understood in international law. "Northern Ireland" and "Southern Ireland" were, in the terms of the 1920 Act, to remain parts of the state known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Even though "Northern Ireland" did come into being, it was not and never has been a state. -- Picapica 20:53, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Agreed, this is a fair deduction. Djegan 21:13, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Article now revised in accordance with the above proposal. -- Picapica 08:06, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
"An Act to Provide for the Better Government of Ireland"
I would prefer the word "worse" :) (mango2002)
