Am I Irish, or Irish-English???

    Hi all,
    I'm a little confused!

    I was born in Ireland and have lived here all my life.

    My mother was born and raised in Ireland, as were her mother and father.
    She considers herself Irish.

    My father was born and raised in England, his parents were both born and raised in Ireland. His father fought for England in WW2.
    Despite the fact that he was born in England, my father considers himself Irish because his parents were born here.
    He is married to my mother and has an Irish passport so in that respect he is an Irish citizen but still he was born in England so isn't he English?

    What does this mean for me- am I Irish, or Irish-English?

    Your father was born in England. That don't make him automatically English. He qualified for an Irish passport so he's considered Irish even with a different accent!

    As both your parents are Irish citizens, your entitled to Irish citizenship, thats if you want it :)
