Irish Republic (4)

I believe the answer is:

eire

'irish republic' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eire that I've seen before include "Official name of the Irish Republic, 1937-49" , "Former name for the Republic of Ireland" , "Look for (something to happen)" , "island" , "Former name of the Irish Republic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
