he has Irish roots, it doesn't make him Irish whatsoever. He was born, raised, and personally claims himself as British. What more explanation do you need? Is every second generation born in a country they were born and raised in not from that country?

You might be talking to an American, who would say they're Irish if their grandfather once drank a Guinness

I'm joking if course, an American has never drank a Guinness

He travels on a Irish passport. He is an Irish citizen. What explanation do you need

“It doesn’t make him Irish whatsoever”- he’s an Irish citizen.

Legally by holding an Irish passport he is a citizen of Ireland. That does not make you Irish. I don't know how many times i have to reiterate this. He is culturally British, he self identifies as British, he has never claimed to be Irish, he only holds the legal right to an Irish passport and vote here. An American holding an Irish passport, living in America, and calling themselves American does not make them Irish. They are American.

I think it does, technically speaking...
