http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland#Citizenship_and_identity

As part of the United Kingdom, people from Northern Ireland are British citizens. They are also entitled to Irish citizenship by birth which is covered in the 1998 Belfast Agreement between the British and Irish governments, which, provides that: it is 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 [the two governments] 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.

 

Its Wikipedia like so could be bollocks.

Aye, but it was still highlighting that someone in Northern Ireland had the opportunity to select a choice of Nationalities despite only being born in one country. Though you're right, if I had typed British first time it would have opened the door even further.

If you're British but born outside of the UK you have a choice to pick any one of the four nations. Maik Taylor was born to an English mother and German father in Germany but because he had a British passport he could pick any of the Home Nations to play for, hence why he ended up playing for Northern Ireland.

 

How do you sit with that one Parky?

Spain or England. I think the father counts more in this instance than where you happen to live, but I can see this is a tricky one.

Yeah best leave women out of this. Probably talk him into playing for France so she can live in Paris etc...

 

I'm assuming he has a British passport.
