“Irishness is not primarily a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition of being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it. On that definition Swift is more Irish than Goldsmith or Sheridan, although by the usual tests they are Irish and he is pure English.”

Conor Cruise O'Brien (1917–2008) Irish politician

"Irishness", in New Statesman, January 17, 1959
Written under the pseudonym Donat O'Donnell.
