Uhh… I might be wrong, and do correct me because I’m not good at politics or geography or stuff, but isn’t The Republic of Ireland a democratic socialist country?
The ROI is I think a social democracy rather democratic socialist. It is economically capitalist though with state intervention.
When we are talking political science ‘state’ is political entity that exerts legal power over a territory. They may be federalised like in the USA or they may be independant (or a few other things.) It can also refer to the systems of this power, like government, legal system, and civil service including entities like police and military forces.

Ireland is very much capitalist. Where did you get that idea? Free healthcare is not socialism.
Honestly? Someone I know once mentioned it was socialist and I know they vote there. That’s it. All 100% of my knowledge.
I did say I was bad at this stuff. :')
You sparked a little curiosity in me, by asking with earnest; so ya did good by at least one person here

They mean a sovereign territory which you would probably call a country.
