Another Irish person weighing in and another +1 to Mark being in there to be himself not represent our country.

For one thing Mark is not acting in a particularly Irish manner. Obviously he has his irishisms but there a lot more irish people completely different to him than there are of his ilk.

I would even go further to say he's not bringing shame on himself either. He is playing a popular style of character very well. Plus he's doing it without spite or malice. Even his barbs are meant as a bit of a joke rather than cruelty. I like Mark. He could easily change that but right now I like him.
