you won't hear from any arbitrator because there's no way to know who 
did that. You can use feedback for the record.

I had one entry saying Eire Ireland and I enter that whole thing. If it 
says Free Ireland, just do that. Don't deviate from that.

If the space for county is blank, leave it blank.  FS has a way of 
connecting of these places. Just make sure spelling is correct no matter 
what it says. Rule is very clear in instruction, spell it out correct, 
no mis-spellings accepted.
