Aer Lingus's land (4)

I believe the answer is:

eire

(Other definitions for eire that I've seen before include "Republic across the water" , "Former name of the Irish Republic" , "Irish name for Ireland" , "island" , "Gaelic name for Republic of Ireland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
