The Republic...declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past.

From the Proclamation of the Irish Republic 1916.

Any attempt to reject as "non-Irish" the minority is completely at odds with what has always been a central principle of the Republican tradition. Unionist , Loyalist, whatever, they are all "children of the nation", and without them it would be a poorer nation when all this is over.

As for the kind of rubbish quoted by ard macha just there - isn't that just the same kind of stuff that's been said about the rest if us?
