the notion that Irish people can't bear to admit a song is English, once they realise it is, is nonsense.
Most of them don't ever realize. It only takes a few people to spread a lot of misinformation. Once the misinformation has built up to a bad enough level, omission rather than overt lying is all it takes to keep the ball rolling.
I bought a little Yiddish dictionary last week. It has a good proverb which translates as "a half truth is a whole lie".
