Irish diaspora refers to Irish people who now live overseas. It doesn’t refer to mick who’s from Boston and fifth generation Irish
At least that’s my understanding of it so far

Only about 130k Irish born in the US.
500k in UK though, which is a more significant 10% of Irish born in the world. I assume they count as living abroad?

This was more about giving Irish nationalists in Northern Ireland the right to vote than anywhere else. It wouldn’t be open to people of Irish descent as that’s chaotic. There’s only 5 million people in Ireland. The US alone has around 40 million of Irish descent. Think it’s 6 million of Irish descent in the uk.
This won’t go anywhere though. Can’t see it passing at all at referendum stage.

Right, only Irish born; that’s pretty clear. The tweet is mistaken.

They seemed to believe it applied to people with Irish grandparents.

the border poll is coming
Thu May 05, 2022 1:21 am
This is my fourth time trying to write this.
GH.
Basically the unionists have fucked themselves. Beyond understanding. Seriously
And now there’s a nationalist majority
On top of that, brexit. Protocol, absolute bullshit
The British government have all big abandoned
Northern Ireland. They just need to hang onto Scotland.
For reasons (massive resources, nuke military base, North Sea )
Chud is correct though. Border poll incoming. At speed. And we are not ready.
Ps Sinn Fein government in Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Dunno if I even have the space to explain that here

Thanks. And sorry if you're annoyed at retyping, I'll try to reread stuff I'm sure I missed since I don't check here nearly as often anymore.

This is bad news. UUP are the moderate ones. Hopefully those votes have gone to alliance.
And not the DUP or TUV.
God I love Election Days.

And those are the numbers so the bbc guy is wrong. But they’ll push the union narrative no matter what
