How would you say THE government of Ireland or England?

My guess is that

"The government of Ireland" == Rialtas na hÉireann
"The government of England" == Rialtas Shasana

I'm confused about the England phrase because Sasana is one of the country names that normally doesn't take the definite article, so I'm not sure what to do when I want to say "The <blank> of England"

De ghrá an chruinnis - níl a leithéid de rud ann agus "The Government of England".

Níl Rialtas Shasana ann fós.

Umm, I appreciate the responses, but generally answers in English are preferable.

They're saying that there isn't a government of England, well not yet anyway. ...it would be probably more accurate to say: of the UK - na Ríochta Aontaithe, or of GB - na Breataine Móire, of course there's Scotland, Wales (and even Norn Iron if they ever get round to it) that do have their own, but that's another story.......(If you have a UK passport, the name of the country is included there in both Irish and Welsh.)

Sorry about that

Rialta na Ríochta Aontaithe
... fiú amháin má bhí dhá ... oh, sorry, even though there were two unions



"The <blank> of England" = <blank> Shasana

Ok, so if I wanted to say "I don't like the English government" in Irish, then the correct translation would be....

Ní maith liom an rialtas Shasana
Ní maith liom rialtas Shasana
Ní maith liom rialtas na Breataine Móire

Which of those would be the most correct?

right/ wrong

There is no article in rialtas Shasana and never will be.

The reason I made that mistake is that I checked it up on - An Draoi Gramadaí - and that is what they give for the genitive singular, for the genitive plural, they give - na ríochtaí aontaitheacha. I thought it was a bit odd, but that is what's there.

Thanks all for the education. The Irish language is most definitely a different way of thinking than Englis.
