    As the Title Suggests : In your Opinion are these People Irish.
    "In My Opinion" - I would say No. They have Irish Citizenship but aren't Irish.

    Maybe citizenship can be bought, but you can't change where you're from.

    What do you think ?

    I for one am anticipating lots of calm, well thought out, rational opinions.

    They're as Irish as Liam Neeson is American.

    Another hick inspired trashy opinion poll for AH:(

    In my Opinion, the people in the photo are hopefully more Irish than you. The Country hardly needs your opinion.

    As Irish as you or me. We all came from somewhere else originally. Scots, vikings, normans, etc.

    According to your birth cert, that would be Irish, I guess.

    Nothingbetter2d, "mongrel" in my mind has two meanings, one being a derogatory term, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt...

    Locked before some racist nut comes in.
