He is from Northern Ireland. Britain only consists of three countries: England, Scotland and Wales.

He is Irish, or Northern Irish if you are that way inclined.

He would not see himself as British anyway, considering where he's from and his religion, I would doubt it anyway.

And as for the "Irish vote" - I don't think people will vote for people just because they're from the same place. Initially you're going to be more interested in the HM as they are from the same area and have the same culture, ways of doing things, dialect (which is noticable with Conor for me anyway) but if you don't like the HM then you don't like them, simple as that.

For example, Caoimhe was Irish but I didn't like her.
