Based on the current results 1 in 10 of those sampled are happy to identify themselves as Northern Irish.  Almost as popular as homosexuality :)

I was thinking about this after reading the US Open thread and how some "young people" define their nationality as Northern Irish.  I don't consider myself young but I am happy to identify myself as being Northern Irish.  I have a healthy dislike of both British nationality (as manifested by Loyalist/Unionists in NI) and Irish nationality (as manifested by people in the ROI who left their fellow nationalists to suffer in NI and who totally sold out to consumer culture from the early 1990s).

No one sold ye out, be Northern Irish if you like, I'm happy to be Irish and European, a Mayoman and a Connachtman.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

MGHS, did you sit out in the sun for too long!? What possessed you to engage in such a serious case of necromancy?

What the feck is European doing on this poll?  I'd be more offended being called European than British.

Why ????
Are you a Yank or what? If you're from Ireland you're European ---  like if you're from India you're  Asian.

Ireland might be in Europe, but I'll never consider myself a European.

I love being a European, would never want to be a Brit.

So you're from Europe but you're not European? What are you then? Antarctican?

What about it?
I thought it was fairly obvious - Do you consider yourself to be European / support Europe if you are watching the Ryder Cup?
