I have no problem with that, but the Brits have always practiced "conquer and divide" and THAT is what has caused this problem. There were NO Protestants in Ireland until England PUT them there! The Catholics of Northern Ireland have a say also.

Can we all decide that if your logic applies in Ireland they apply everywhere?

What you are saying is:

Even if your ancestors have been in Ireland for 400 years, you are still not Irish. This means the million Irish in GB should be forced to go home too.

As GB put English, Scots, Welsh and Irish in North America well AFTER the protestants went to Ireland should all current American descendants go home too and leave America to the Native Americans?

Do you see what you are really saying?

Be consistent.

No...you misunderstand..some of my own relatives were Ulster Scotch-Irish. What I mean is that both need to have equal say in whatever Government is chosen, and as long as that Gov is IRISH.
