    Irish Water have rebranded themselves now as Uisce Éireann. Is this correct? Is Uisce Éireann not 'Ireland's water' or 'water of Ireland' no?

    hmmm... yeah, you might be expecting to see something like Uisce na hEireann or Uisce Éireannach? I'd have to look it up, but I think there are specific use cases as to when you'd use x na hÉireann / x Éireannach / x Éireann. It is common enough for state bodies to use the Eireann form in their Irish names (Dáil Éireann, Raidio Teilifís Éireann..)
