@Jon Birch No. I think I get where you're coming from but that isn't correct. When it comes to citizenship you're British if you're from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, or in other words the UK. The rest of Ireland, whilst Geographically part of the British Isles is distinctly seperate from the UK in terms of cultural identity and citizenship.

It's actually not as rare as you think. I was on an exchange in a Spanish secondary school with my friends when I was 16. The principal was majorly into Irish culture. He was massively surprised/disappointed that we weren't fluent in Irish and couldn't sing or play trad music. An unrelated example is the band "the orthodox Celts". A very popular act in Serbia that plays Irish trad. Hearing the lyrics to the songs in a thick Serbian accent is a little bizarre but not unpleasant.

When I was a child we used to visit Hotel Westport as a family every Sunday to have lunch with my grandmother. Every now and again I would see John Hurt sunk into a leather armchair in the corner of the lounge room, sipping a tea and reading the newspaper on a Sunday afternoon. I was too young to recognise him but my mother would quietly tell me he was the wandmaker in Harry Potter. He looked very content and I never remember a single person ever giving him any notice. After seeing this I'm sure one of my sightings tied in with the recording of this show, however the memory is more significant now as he must have regularly returned despite knowing he had no connection to Ireland. RIP.

I'd be gutted to find out I didn't have Irish roots. I've no indigenous blood in me and I've never truly felt Canadian, besides my love for hockey, Hortons and the Hip. I've felt we were allowed to live here, but this isn't my land. This isn't where my heart belongs. I lived for two years in Dublin and for two years now have worked seasonally in Canada so that I can live part time in Ireland.

I left them alone! But felt cool to have even been in the same space as them! Legends.

I had a similar encounter with him: I was checking into Fitzpatrick’s Hotel in Killiney in mid-90’s and there was an older gentleman sitting by himself near the check-in desk. He looked like John Hurt, so I did a double-take and realized indeed it was him. He noticed my reaction, broadly smiled and nodded as if to say, “yes, it’s me”, then said hello. I briefly mentioned that I admired his work. He was gracious and kind about it, and I appreciated him even more after this encounter. I wondered later why he was in Ireland when I wasn’t aware of any local current films or plays that he may have been involved with. Makes more sense now.

King Delevingne John it would seem longed to be of Irish decent. Prior to the programme, Hurt had harboured a love of Ireland and was enamoured of a "deeply beguiling" family legend that suggested his great-grandmother had been the illegitimate daughter of a Marquess of Sligo. Furthermore he had a seven-year relationship with Dublin-born presenter and writer Sarah Owens. The couple moved to County Wicklow, where they settled close to their friends, director John Boorman and Claddagh Records founder and Guinness heir Garech Browne.

People may feel a kindred spirit with being English, Irish or Scots, but you are what you are. Where you are born is less important than the influence of your parents and their family history. ie. If you parents are English but you happen to be born in Japan because your parents were working there for 18 months, it doesn't make you Japanese. Paul McGrath was born in London but is Irish. I like Ireland and I love Scotland, but I will always be English/British, no matter what I want or prefer. It just so happens that although I'm far from a Nationalist, I'm quite happy being exactly what I am.

As someone who is British I can say myself that it's certainly hard not to fall in love with Ireland, there is a purity about the place and one of the few places left where everyone you meet is proud to be who they are and where they came from. Something that died a long time ago here in Britain and its heart breaking to see my home slowly lose its identity.

Strange how genetic history is so important to humans. As if it matters, what matters is who YOU are. Not your father, your grandmother, great great grandfather; they're all irrelevant now. YOU are what's important. If your self worth comes from your race, gender, sexuality, I get a feeling you don't have much self worth at all.

It is important, genetics play the biggest part in who we are. These days it's often viewed as a bad thing but it's a great thing that should be cherished and not marred because of some who use it as a reason to discriminate.

My family is Irish, my mother an Irish citizen. Went back to there in recent years where we still have relatives and could only feel connected to Ireland in that one very specific area on the West Coast. It was an odd feeling, having thought myself damned near born and bred there and certainly comfortable in all of it. But now, living in Scotland, which is only a shred of our heritage, I'm at home. There's simply no telling until you stand there. But when you do it's as real as anything can be. Remember John, St. Patrick, the soul of Ireland, was kidnapped and taken to Ireland from Roman Britain. A Roman through and through, and yet, is there anybody more Irish?

I always loved him as an actor but this is ridiculous - fair play to him if he feels at home in Ireland but copping a strop because you’re not technically Irish is a bit immature. I thought he was born in England to English parents so how would he be Irish anyway? Jeremy Irons did this too - another English actor desperate to be something he isn’t.
