[Darren McCarty]

The Irish still don’t consider themselves to be British?

There's no "consider." They aren't British. They aren't subjects governed by the Crown. They are Irish.

The only Irish (who didn't immigrate to Scotland or England) who consider themselves British are some of the folks in a few counties in Ulster known as Northern Ireland, which is part of Britain for now.
