I’ll vote with the government every time even though I’m an independent (he, her, them, this, these, that and those)

A lot of the angry responses to my post appear to be confused about Irishness. They think it’s only available to people whose families on both sides have lived in Ireland for generations. Those people are certainly Irish but so are many people of Irish heritage who were born abroad. If they have one Irish born grandparent, they are entitled to citizenship.
Someone born in Ireland without an Irish heritage but who grows up here is, under our laws, entitled to be Irish. What else could they be. They may never have seen their ancestral homeland. They have been educated in Ireland and been part of our society.
The only reason for denying them the right to be Irish would be racism pure & simple, and that is not something most Irish people would go along with, although a noisy minority probably holds such un-Irish views.
