First time I saw the Monaghan name out in the press. Is this the same man?

Funny this guy being called "irish" given some of photos of him I've seen in last day or two.

Did he not give his nationality as British?

[Eamonnca1]

He did. His FB page is still up, so people have been poking around looking at his photos. He's holding an NI flag in a few of them, including that strange NI/Israel combo flag with the blue star of David superimposed on it.

Yesterday I saw a meme going around denouncing him as a loyalist with connections to the UVF/UDA. I don't know if that's founded or not.

Its strange though. When Rory McIlroy wins anything they use a made of nationality of "Northern Irish" but in the case of the fella its "Irish" everywhere you look except he appears to be a hard core loyalist. It would make you wonder the subtle use of language.

By the same token, Republicans are always saying that unionists are Irish.  By your reckoning here, they are British when it suits / doesn't paint Irish people in a bad light.  Can't have it both ways!

This chap declared his Nationality "British" anyway.
He'll likely get to stay in Britain for quite some time now!

Thought this must be the case. A colleague of Unionist persuasion last week was championing this fella as a victim of the media. Now he looks guilty she comes out today saying he apparently has links to the IRA. I just bite my tongue.

He had a tricolour and a sweden flag in his Instagram bio. Bit odd I thought as he does appear to be a loyalist

I was referring to the mainstream media terminology, not terminology from either side of the divide.
