My wording talked of many in Ireland - I think that can be assumed to include the bit at the top -). There are plenty of sources quoted that claim a lot of people in Ireland object. You're both right, we can't quantify - but ""many"" isn't a quantity - it's an appropriately vague term. I think it's fair to draw from the sources that ""many in Ireland object to the term"", considering the content of footnote 2. The impression given is more accurate than a bare ""the term is controversial"", don't you think? (T • C) "
