Trump's mother was Scottish, but going by the previous logic I've seen here that makes her Irish.“Introducing ancestry” are you having a fucking laugh?
That’s a given. It’s the reason why I (and you) can’t ‘become’ anything else other than being Irish. That’s the point and the smoking gun that you’re trying to hide from.
I can’t ‘become’ Japanese, Egyptian, Moroccan or any other nationality. It’s impossible.
If you think it isn’t, then explain how I can become one of the above nationalities.
What’s true for me is true for everyone else.
‘American’ is a catch all term for immigrants or descendants of immigrants from all over the world. It’s an artificial collective which is why it’s always preceded by the country or region of origin. It’s not a pure ancestral defining term.
‘Irish American’
‘African American’
‘Italian American’
‘Germanic American’ then. Simple.
Right so. I think we can conclude by @Haven's silence that he doesn't actually believe that being born in Ireland makes someone Irish.. Good. That's progress.Yes, you said that being born and raised here makes someone Irish.
Let's deal with the first part, imagine a flight, destined for some far-flung place has to make an emergency landing in Dublin, because a Nigerian woman is giving birth and there's complications.. and so the child is born on the tarmac of the runway at Dublin airport. Obviously that wouldn't make the baby Irish, that would be magic dirt theory, agreed?
Absolutely crazy. And one of the few countries in the world that has it - that anyone would want to migrate to.
Thats what you are doing.“Introducing ancestry” are you having a fucking laugh?
I agree. I never made this argument.That’s a given. It’s the reason why I (and you) can’t ‘become’ anything else other than being Irish. That’s the point and the smoking gun that you’re trying to hide from.
I agree. I never made this argument.I can’t ‘become’ Japanese, Egyptian, Moroccan or any other nationality. It’s impossible.
As I explained before, thats not true. A child of immigrants can be born in Ireland, obtain citizenship via the rules, and grow up in Ireland as I have described: that person is Irish.If you think it isn’t, then explain how I can become one of the above nationalities.
What’s true for me is true for everyone else.
So pure ancestry doesnt matter so much after a while. Good to know.American’ is a catch all term for immigrants or descendants of immigrants from all over the world. It’s an artificial collective which is why it’s always preceded by the country or region of origin. It’s not a pure ancestral defining term.
‘Irish American’
‘African American’

Local thug, suspected murderer previously, over 130 convictions but other than that salt of the earth !!@Neptune, any word on the ethnicity of the guy who died in garda custody the other day, a suspect in the Islandbridge stabbing?
Nobody else involved??? Just a one on one? Is the investigation over now?Local thug, suspected murderer previously, over 130 convictions but other than that salt of the earth !!
So @Haven, now that we can assume that you don't actually believe in magic dirt, we're left with the "raised here" part, could you be more specific?Right so. I think we can conclude by @Haven's silence that he doesn't actually believe that being born in Ireland makes someone Irish.. Good. That's progress.
The core distinction you’re (conveniently) avoiding is simple: citizenship is a legal status, not a transformation of peoplehood.Thats what you are doing.
I agree. I never made this argument.

If I was born in Ireland, to Irish parents, then was immediately moved to Australia, obtained Australian citizenship, and spent my entire life there, I would be Australian in every way.
The same applies to European countries where I can be naturalised. I could grow up in Germany and have no connection or Irish identity at all, except through my parents.
Isnt this why those born to Irish parents that then grew up in the UK often called "plastic Paddies"? Many in Ireland dont see them as "Irish", but the ancestry is there.
So pure ancestry doesnt matter so much after a while. Good to know.
The response from the SDLP is abhorrent, basically calling for the public not to engage with the far right. And people wonder why that party crashed and burned. I do have to admit a bit of schadenfreude, remember the glee in the UK when the fear of the Rwanda plan was driving the Somalis to leave the UK and show up in Dublin, well that's died down a bit and seems a good few returned to the UK. Now is the time for the sea border with the UK. Even the unionists will have to agree... https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0609/1577459-psni-stabbing-belfast/Darkie head chopper is Sudanese, not Somali, say the pigs.
Protests planned for this evening.
"Things are certainly tense here" sez RTE.
Wonder why MSM are making a big deal of this? Normal savage darkie attacks barely get a mention.
If I was born in Ireland, to Irish parents, then was immediately moved to Australia, obtained Australian citizenship, and spent my entire life there, I would be Australian in every way.
respectfully disagree. We need checkpoints all along the 6 county border, the sea border, the 26 county border, the England/Scotalnd border, the England/Wales border and a shoot to kill policy on all sea areas from the English channel to the Orkneys and Galway Bay.Now is the time for the sea border with the UK. Even the unionists will have to agree...
I’ve been trying to explain it to a 55 year old. However, I think your approach works better!
I agree with you. I never made this argument.The core distinction you’re (conveniently) avoiding is simple: citizenship is a legal status, not a transformation of peoplehood.
A passport is simply an administrative recognition by a state; it doesn’t alter ancestry, ethnicity, or origin.
That’s why your own examples collapse under scrutiny: we all understand that someone does not become Japanese, Moroccan, or Chinese by legal naturalisation. If I attained Japanese citizenship, I still wouldn't 'BECOME’ Japanese. It would simply make life easier in terms of continuously having to apply for work permits. Nobody would refer to me as 'Japanese'. If the newspapers in Tokyo had to include me in an article for some reason, I would be (correctly) described as Irish. Not some gas lighting nonsense like "a Tokyoite".
Citizenship means fuck all.
Thats not my argument. I'm not talking a "younger" you. I am talking about someone born in a country or moving almost immediatly after birth to a country. That child has no identity, its a baby. It develops that identity as it grows up in the society it lives in.If I moved to Germany when I was younger and spoke the language perfectly, I could probably pass for German. However the reality is I still wouldn't ACTUALLY be German. It would be false to claim that I was.
“Naturalisation” itself makes this clear. It is a legal fiction that extends rights and membership under law; it does not rewrite lineage or identity. It's categorically different from saying a foreign born population becomes the same people as those descended from generations within that country.
You seem to be seeing citizenship and national identity as interchangeable. But they are not. Your argument only works if you quietly redefine “Irish,” “German,” or “French” as purely administrative labels, while simultaneously acknowledging that no one applies that same logic to non-Western societies. (Why are all your weak examples from Western countries btw?)
Do you think they are administrative labels Tank?
Now that I've cleared up the issue of residency or citizenship magically transforming nationhood, what arguments do you have left?
Anyway it's a moot point, bizarrely enough, the daily Mail is reporting he arrived in Dublin, then travelled North and applied for asylum in the UK.... He was given "leave to remain"......all those given leave to remain, and who in the public service signed off on that need to be identified. Their actions also need to have consequences. You only have to look what happened to our children on Parnell st, also by a " Leave to remainer"...respectfully disagree. We need checkpoints all along the 6 county border, the sea border, the 26 county border, the England/Scotalnd border, the England/Wales border and a shoot to kill policy on all sea areas from the English channel to the Orkneys and Galway Bay.
What a surprise. Deport them all. Let God sort them out.the daily Mail is reporting he arrived in Dublin, then travelled North and applied for asylum in the UK....
See how stupid this sentence sounds with a slight tweak of geography.If I was born in Ireland, to Irish parents, then was immediately moved to The Congo, obtained Congolese citizenship, and spent my entire life there, I would be Congolese in every way.
See how stupid this sentence sounds with a slight tweak of geography.
You wouldn’t be Congolese “in every way” though would you?
You purposefully picked a country made up of UK and Irish emigrants from the 19th and 20th centuries in an effort to make it sound more palatable.
Why is it that the magic nationhood transformation can only occur in western nations? What’s that about?
Pass this on.
And please en masse put Haven on ignore like l did months ago. Only way to get rid of him from this forum.

Would like to think the public will be outraged after this disgusting attempt at a beheading, but the world Cup starts Thursday so this story will be old news. Pallani did something similar too, but nothing came of it, in fact, Diarmuid, I'm not familiar with the Sligo area, but I bet my bottom dollar since the Islamic murder spree by Pallani, and their suspicious cash in the attic of their social home, I bet there are now more islamic asylum seekers being currently housed in Ipas accomdatin in Sligo as of today than when pallani did his thing?What a surprise. Deport them all. Let God sort them out.
There are Christians in the Sudan, but as an attempted head chopper that tends to hint at Muslim cultural influences.
How come these Muslim stabbers in Ireland never, ever, ever attack Jews, despite the numerous Jewish targets all over the place? To be clear, I am NOT encouraging Muslims stabbers to attack Jews, just asking why they are obviously avoiding it?
Ta boladh Francach as a sceal seo. I smell a rat. Refer to my Islam and Judaism article for more detail.
They built a huge extension to the IPas place sure enough, since palani. Place is swarming with darkies with bad attitudes. Local pols are still facilitating more refugees.I bet there are now more islamic asylum seekers being currently housed in Ipas accomdatin in Sligo as of today than when pallani did his thing?
That's shocking, so despite two beheadings, or attempted beheadings (murders anyway), the Sligo council "increased" the number of ipas in the region. You would have to ask, what does it take to put an end to this madness. The only difference to the Belfast attempted beheading and Pallani's is the Belfast one was caught on camera... and he survived, the Sligo lads died.They built a huge extension to the IPas place sure enough, since palani. Place is swarming with darkies with bad attitudes. Local pols are still facilitating more refugees.
PBP Cllr Gino O'Boyle is buddies with Conor McEniffe of the Gemma-famous Bundoran hotel family and is pushing white women to stay in shared accomodation there with darkies. He also has an IPAS securty contract .He gets v aggressive if you question him. FFG Lab and Greens are singing from same hymn sheet.
A Uke refugee probably killed old Mr Robinson in Drumshanbo, but they only convicted him of theft.
Lots of people getting killed, suspicious accidents and suicides, crashes, etc. Cops swagger around dishing out death threats and smirking "I'm alright Jack" and joking about paki rape gangs.
Big freemason town, of course..
Proprty mogul cathal O'Conor got two years jail for battering a bunch of teenagers. He boasted that he owned the cops and that he had killed a man before - without punishment. His three helpers in battering the teens did not get any jail time. I presume the teens were from satanic families - otherwise he would not have got any jail time at all.
I hope this is not discouraging news for anyone.
Please pray for us. Go raibh maith agaibh.
In fairness, some of the darkies are great and don't participate in the evil: Phillipinos, Kerala Christians, some of the lovely Christian Negro ladies.
That is the question.You would have to ask, what does it take to put an end to this madness.
Three years??? Any idea where?The lefties seem very quiet all round today.
The knifeman in Belfast was in the country for 3 years I think, in the lefties eyes he is a true Irishman.
And so say all of @HavenThe knifeman in Belfast was in the country for 3 years I think, in the lefties eyes he is a true Irishman.
Seems he landed in Dublin in 2023 and went north where he was granted protection.Three years??? Any idea where?
