        She's Irish. Do you mention that Dubliners are from the east when you congratulate them?

        @Treasa5555 some of us are Northern Irish, Irish, British all three or two or one, relax we're still great 😊

        And some of us are just one identity. But you are right we are great. I just think our president shouldn't make us 'other' #Think32 Most importantly Anna Burns made us all proud

        But some of us want to identify as Northern Irish and Irish, to a lesser extent British, but it's still who we are and the background our families hail from.

        Replying to @tardishead @Treasa5555 @PresidentIRL

        You can identify however you want. But stop assuming a 'Northern Irish' identity can be ascribed to 'we'/others - it isn't mentioned in our GFA? Plus, if the President had checked, he'd have learned Anna Burns is an Irish Nationalist RC from Ardoyne and known to identify as such.

        She's Irish. When are you people going to realise that there are people in the North that consider themselves Irish, we don't recognise N Irish. You have no right to label us as Northern Irish. And as the President of Ireland it's insulting. We're Irish end of story. #Think32

        She’s from an Irish nationalist background, so I imagine she’d rather be called Irish than “Northern Irish”. Try acting like the President of (all of) Ireland.

        Well said Micky D, can people just be happy for Anna and not have this constant bickering about our Island. It's actually embarrassing.. #ManBookerPrize

        No it's not embarrassing. You can't label people of an identity that they don't consider themselves to be - thats embarrassing.
