    Absolute nonsense that has been debunked on here dozens of times. They are always referred to as northern Irish, just as any Murray was Scottish when he won the us open and Olympics. The only people who believe that crãp are bitter little-irelanders...

    It's not even correct nonsense this time. Usually it's "British when they win, Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish when they don't"

    Yep, along with the fact that the bbc never mentioned where he was from but the indo did.

    What a shame, can't bash the British for this one....

    please, get yourself a map and learn the difference between Britain, the UK, Northern Ireland and England. Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke have never been and never will be described as English.

    What was this guy playing at. Did he really think he could pass the codes to the Russkis without MI5 getting involved?

    Aah well, I hear Guantanamo is nice this time of year.

    Folks, don't turn this into the usual "what constitutes being Irish" thread, and stick to the actual topic.

    The Mail has the reason he gave.
    He had wanted to ‘hurt the navy’ because he was angry that a free electrical engineering degree course he had been due to take had been ‘binned’ because of budget cuts.

    Eejit.

    the OP's header and the article say "Irish". I take that to mean Irish as in 26 counties, Republic of Irelandish.

    Then perhaps you need to look at a map: "Irish" people come from Ireland, surprisingly. At present the country of Ireland is divided into two states. Everybody from this country is Irish, regardless of whether they are in the independent state, or the state still under British occupation. Some 700,000 people living in the part of Ireland still under British rule choose to hold Irish passports today. Their right to citizenship of the Irish nation is protected under international law.

    From my experience the average Irish person in south Armagh or west Tyrone is more culturally Irish than the average person in Dublin who, through tv and internet, is saturated with British (particularly sporting culture) and US culture and has now little attachment to an Irish cultural tradition.

    Oh god no. Another poster with an Irish username talking about occupation... The majority of Nordies, protestant or catholic, want to be part of the UK, leave them alone and let them get on with stealing nuclear stuff.

    Yer bloke in the OP felt so Irish he joined the Royalnavy.

    Because, of course, Irish people don't go on submarines as a matter of principle?

    Somebody should have told one Seán Pilib Ó hUallacháin.

    The British only allow British born sailors onto their submarines. No foreigners no exceptions.

    No, because you have to be a UK citizen to serve on a UK submarine...

    Let me understand this... You think people in the UK are somehow less saturated by UK culture than people in Dublin??? Amazingly ridiculous statement.

    And there is no occupation. The majority there are happy to be British citizens. Majority.

    Interesting. I was on a submarine a while ago and I was not one of those. Carry on, nevertheless.

    But nice attempt to transfer a discussion on "submarine" into one about a "UK submarine". You really didn't follow this thread's development closely, did you.
