Thank you very much, Angelino97, for clearing up this misunderstanding :-)

But I can see why this misunderstanding is so persistent: the media, who not only are in cahoots with the international oligarchy, but who also always have delighted in fomenting conflict between peoples and nations are repeating the lie “Germany is behind it” ad nauseam.

A really fat red herring...

And, as a wise man (George Orwell?) once said, propaganda, if repeated unceasingly, eventually becomes the “truth”.

No County Down is now in Northern Ireland ...

at that time Ireland was one country ...

In 1856, all 32 counties of Ireland were part of the united Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, a single kingdom.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/apgb/Geo3/39-40/67/contents

The Union with Ireland Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67)

The Parliaments of England and Ireland have agreed upon the articles following:

Article First

That Great Britain and Ireland shall upon Jan. 1, 1801, be united into one kingdom; and that the titles appertaining to the crown, &c. shall be such as his Majesty shall be pleased to appoint.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aip/Geo3/40/38

The Act of Union (Ireland) 1800 (40 Geo. 3 c. 38), an Act of the Parliament of Ireland.

Article First.

Great Britain and Ireland to be united for ever from 1 Jan. 1801.

That it be first article of the union of the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, that the said kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland shall, upon the first day of January, which shall be in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and one, and for ever, be united into one kingdom, by the name of “the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,” and that the royal stile and titles appertaining to the imperial crown of the said united kingdom and its dependencies, and also the ensigns, armourial flags and banners thereof, shall be such as his Majesty by his royal proclamation under the great seal of the united kingdom shall be pleased to appoint.

In the twentieth century, when Ireland obtained dominion status for 26 counties (later the republic of Ireland), six of the nine counties of Ulster were partitioned off as Northern Ireland (Antrim, Armagh, Derry, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone). These continue today as a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I know people in Ireland - the people there really wanted abortion and gay marriage - it has become a secular, urbanized country.
