"Regardless" of what? Of your stance? Well you are on your own as I can state (constitutionally) what I have posted and all you do is post in bold. Yawn... Here, I cite the Good Friday Agreement on the constitutional status of those born and living in the north of Ireland (I suggest you post something that you know about):


Irish Northern Aid, Inc./1998 Good Friday Agreement

(vi) recognise the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland.
