Option A: Merge Ireland and Republic of Ireland into one article at Ireland.
Option B: The state at Ireland. The island at Ireland (island).
Option C: A general "all-Ireland" topic at Ireland. The island at Ireland (island). The state at Ireland (state).
Option D: The island at Ireland. The state at Ireland (state).
Option E: A disambiguation page at Ireland. The island at Ireland (island). The state at Ireland (state).
Option F: The island at Ireland. The state at Republic of Ireland.
Needless to say, the pro-Irish contingent is favoring option F (although you can list all six - or fewer - ballot options in order of preference).
Here is a template, which also happens to reflect how I voted:
* {{stv-ballot|A=6|B=2|C=4|D=3|E=5|F=1|}}[[User:YourWikipediaUserName]] ~~~~
Please keep in mind that the four characters at the end ("tildes") are crucial; they must be included. if you'd prefer not to look like a noob, then modify the above template as so:
[[YourWikipediaUserName| ]] ~~~~
Note the blank space to the right of the "|" character.
If the "F" option wins an outright majority of 1st preferences, then subsequent rankings are of no consequence. Hence, for the sake of convenience, some might prefer to simply rank F=1, while all other options = 0.
By the way, please don't mention the existence of this thread to anyone at Wikipedia, as I believe it would be interpreted as violating their No Canvassing policy.
