Do you mean a (1) Mission _to_ Ireland, or a (2) mission the members of which are Irish?
(1) Misean go hÉireann - although I would prefer Toscaireacht go hÉireann
(2) Misean Éireannach |

I think Mission of Ireland would be more appropriate for what I have in mind. |

I'm not sure I know what that means!
I was thinking of mission in the sense of spreading belief.
Perhaps you mean mission in the military sense? Something which has to be done?
In which case a more appropriate word would be
cuspóir, or sprioc, or aidhm
Cuspóir (or Aidhm) na hÉireann - Ireland's objective
Sprioc na hÉireann - Irelands goal |

Ah! Yes! Spreading Belief, as in a religious sense. |

But then either one of (1) or (2) ought to be what you mean!
What do you mean by mission _of_ Ireland?
Are you saying Ireland must spread her beliefs? Then you mean the same as (2) |
