Northern Ireland 2125?

I see those born on the island of Ireland as Irish by birth and who have every right to identify as they wish, be that Polish, Chinese, British or whatever.
I will want that right enshrined in a UI as it is in the GFA.

I see those born in Britain, a distinctly different island, as British and would hope that they can identify as they wish too.
For the purposes of the simple post I wrote I needed to distinguish between the 'British' 'the Irish' and those who live here but 'identify as British'.

Whose 'law' is that?

Lots of British laws are different to here. We don't observe the different ones

There is no law in Ireland stating that those born in NI are British.

Constitutionally we see anyone born on the island as 'Irish' and entitled to bear an Irish passport. Via the GFA we recognise and enshrine the right to identify as British, Irish or both.

In a UI I would like to extend that right to enshrine the rights of the multiple identities and nationalities that are now citizens here and whose offspring born here will be Irish by birth but who may want to continue that identity.

If you wish to observe British law in this existing sovereign state and in a future UI one, that's a case you will have to make. Best of luck with that one!

I am not talking about citizenship. That is a fluid thing.

If Russia win in Ukraine and change laws in relation to citizenship, does that make people born in Ukraine ‘Russians’.

Yes is the answer, using your logic.

There is NO law here decreeing what you claimed.

You want to follow British law, you work away.
There is zero onus on me.

My assessment has zero to do with citizenship or law. They are fluid entities and can change at anytime.

It has to do with geography.

Those born on the island of Ireland are Irish and the law of one jurisdiction calls those there British.
While the constitution here sees everybody born on the island as Irish and automatically entitled to an Irish passport.

You want to see it otherwise, work away.

Who gives a **** about British law?

I live in the republic of Ireland and I am not a British subject.

Stop digging the hole further.

If I am in Britain or anywhere else I will observe their common law.

The GFA is a part of British and Irish law. And I voted for it and observe it.

Once again you show by that post that you had your fingers crossed behind your back when you voted for it.

You quoted a British law that dictates the identity of those who live in NI

There is no ambiguity about the word shall, there is no choice of identity. 

The GFA allows those in NI to identify as British, Irish or both.

And so do I. I have no desire to dictate anyone's identity. Nor do I subscribe to a law that would dictate that I do.

If they're caught drinking driving, there is no grand overarching UK law; they're subject to Northern Irish law, which differs in part from English, Scottish or Welsh law. E.g. limits are lower for novice driver in Scotland, random breathalysing isn't allowed in any of the UK except NI etc etc.

Typo @downcow meant to read ‘was not Britain’s’

Maggie once thought it was as ‘British as Finchley’ btw

A few years later the British decreed it was a part of Ireland and it’s fate lay with the people of Ireland.

I was born in Monaghan, Ireland. I’m Irish. I don’t have dual nationality nor have any use for it.

Clarity is in the eye of the beholder.

Thing is, if we were in France and I said I was born in Co. Monaghan and you said you were born in Co. Down we would both be assumed to be Irish. I have no need to disabuse them of that assumption. You would have to tell them you identify as British.

I am sure they would accept that as I do.

*I hate to tell you this that the same applies in Britain, as it has happened when I was there. I have a good friend in London from your community and he has had to do it several times.
