"An organized Irish America will fight to maintain the integrity of the Good Friday Agreement and ensure that there is no hard border in Ireland. It will disrupt attempts by Washington to engage in any trade deals with London. In doing so, they will protect the international treaty that was facilitated by the Clinton administration which brought peace to Ireland after thirty years of devastation and destruction".“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Which I guess only proves the point about it being colloquially known as British.
If you ask certain people in Northern Ireland what they are, they would reply “British”, not “United Kingdomers”. Again, proving the point I guess.Comment
