::::::::::Liam Neeson, like everyone else born in "Northern Ireland" prior to the GFA is an Irish citizen according to the nationality laws of the Irieh Republic.  That some persons born in the north of Ireland have claimed British citizenship and choose not to recognize or claim their Irish citizenship for sectarian/partisan reasons does not change the simple fact that those who do - such as Mr Neeson and myself - are legally Irish citizens and are recognized as such by the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the world.  If some Unionist/Loyalist sorts don't like it, so what?  Our Irish citizenship is legally unquestioned and none of your damn business.
