    Default "Northern Irish" isn't a proper nationality



    "After a few months in the US, Britain, Australia or anywhere else in the world. Protestants who called themselves British or even "Northern Irish" will begin to call themselves Irish. For their sense of homesickness and connection with Ireland.

    Today there are many people who call themselves "anti-sectarian" and "Northern Irish". Despite not knowing that they are indeed talking about. For if they read Irish history they will know there have been dozens of Irish Republican and Nationalist Protestants. Including the founder of Irish Republicanism - Theobald Wolfe Tone. From Irish Nationalists leaders like Charles Steward Parnell, to Irish Republican leaders such as Ronnie Bunting, son of a Paisleyite and British Army Major who became leader of the INLA and was assassinated by the SAS in collusion with the UDA. Others like John Mitchel, Henry Joy McCracken.

    However some Protestants who accept that the Loyalist culture is one full of hate and want to get away from it, an are unfortunately uneducated on the matter will often describe themselves as "Northern Irish". However there is no such thing as being "Northern Irish". You can only be either British or Irish. Away from the hate filled streets of the Shankill and other Loyalist area's a group of young Protestants finally accept that they are Irish.

    Irish Republicanism offers a real soulation to the problem if sectarianism in Ireland. For Wolfe Tone himself said: "...my goal was to unite Catholic, Protestant and dissenter."

    In poll after poll done on the British mainland, poll after poll proves the vast majority of Britons want a united Ireland and view all Irish people as one. The only people preventing his, is Unionists and Loyalists along with the British government"

    I wouldn't argue with people if they called themselves Northern Irish. I'm very much a live and let live person but it is true that here in Australia no one calls themselves Northern Irish because the Aussies are a bit clueless about the subject . They don't know whether Dublin is in Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland and a lot don't know that most Irish people aren't British. People will just pick up your accent and call you Irish. I know some Protestants from Northern Ireland and they aren't very political about the subject and it becomes less important when you are away from it all. Most Northern Irish Protestants just call themselves Irish here otherwise it is just too much explaining to do. Anyway all Irish here support the Irish Rugby Team.

    Northern Irish people can choose what passport they wish to hold either British or Irish. People from the Republic have no restrictions in crossing the border and Northern Irish have no restrictions in coming to the Republic. Also all of the people of the British Isles whether Irish or British have freedom on movement in both Britain and the ROI. Both Ireland and Britain are not part of Schengen.
