(ps - have a look at 'British Isles naming dispute' on Wikipedia).

Wikipedia; In general, the use of the term British Isles to refer to the archipelago is common and uncontroversial within Great Britain.

Is it unreasonable for the BBC to aim its output at its licence payers? Or should they be more aware of the sensitivity of our neighbours?

Nevertheless, I hope that listeners on both sides of the border in Ireland will be able to get some pleasure from the Folk Map of the British Isles.
