History, spelling both stink and so does your geography. The Island of Ireland is included in the British Isles, this does NOT imply politically that the former Irish Free State which split from the British Commonwealth to become an independent Republic has any connection with the United Kingdom OTHER than being a neighbour. I have been to the Republic of Ireland on many an occasion and have found the Irish most friendly, helpful and cheerful, glad to see others, you must be the exception!

Oh my God.. I'm Irish and I think you need to cop yourself on, whoever you are. I don't know any British or English person (and I do know a few) who would suggest that Ireland is part of the UK. I think that the two countries need to try to put the past behind us and move on in friendship. I have English friends, English family and am very fond of all the English, Scottish and Welsh people that I know. Ireland has more in common with the UK than it has with any other country and the longer there is strife between us, the worse off we both are. People like you, with your ignorant (and badly spelled) rants are holding everyone back. Try to grow up, if it's not too much of a challenge.

That spelling is not doing much good for dispelling the myth that all Irish are 'drunken eejits'!
That said, I am fully aware that Eire is not part of the UK, although I recognise that NI is. I'm not sure it's that simple to say that all the Irish want nothing to do with Britain - I have traced my ancestors back to Cork in the 19th Century, they came to London, so obviously wanted something to do with the UK! Also, as someone with strong Irish heritage on both sides of the family, and an Irish surname, I am of the belief that I can be proud to be of Irish descent and yet still proud to be a British citizen too.

Are you just illiterate or an uneducated child? Why don't you try using a dictionary or spellchecker so that we can understand your immature rant?
Nobody I know thinks that the Republic of Ireland is part of the UK anymore.
I suggest you listen to sensible Irish people like Sinead C.
P.S. How do you define the ‘British’ that you appear to hate anyway - I’m English but have a Welsh surname whilst ancestors in the family tree were Huguenot (French) & I believe even IRISH!

I'm Irish and I currently live in the UK. People do get confused as to whether Ireland is part of the UK or not, but then I met an American once who thought Wales was a town in England,
it's not true to say that we don't want anything to do with people in Britain, anymore than it's fair to say we need to learn to talk properly as a poster above rudely said.

Try posting a question in English the next time. I think you will find that most Irish folk are not as mental as you sound. Did you ever go to school. If you did, I bet you were always the one standing in the corridor with a blank expression on your face. Rule Britannia. Sorry I meant roool briatianya.

I live in england and have never classed eire as part of britain. Every educated person knows that england, wales, scotland and northern ireland make up the british isles.
It's a shame you seem to have such hate for britain when we have close ties between our countries.

I. Am not answering this question. Again
Refer to my previous answers on citizenship
Your question is badly worded and makes you sound ilitterate which does not help your cause if you are attempting to represent a standpoint of superiority
Please remove the chip from your shoulder and start getting on with your neighbours. It was a long time ago and you need to move on with the rest of us
Half the country is mixed blood at this stage anyway

Does you mummy know you are on the computer?
You just carry on showing people the racist side of Ireland!!!
No wonder it is still divided. It is not the Brits it is the intransigence and rush to silly words and violence, the desire to kill maim and slander. Even little kids on their way to school.
Ireland will only be united when such stupidity as this posting ceases and they learn to talk sensibly.
Long way off then if this guy is anything to go by!!!!
