There's enough of us Irish out of work, should be an Irish only entry...

Isn't it much more likely that the contestants simply naturally reflect the make-up of Irish society now?

We have a lot of Irish citizens from different national backgrounds who were born in this country.

Therefore a small number of the contestants represent this.

Would it be strange if there were black people or people of Chinese or Indian descent on the American or British Apprentice?
