:No, according to his official webiste he was born in "Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland". See . K1Bond007 01:15, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
It is actually wrong. Drogheda is partially in Meath and partially in Louth. The hospital in which he was born is in the County Meath part (by a couple of metres! I was born there too so I know the location). People often forget that Drogheda straddles two counties, so I've removed the County Louth bit. It is also irrelevant. Navan people, and people from most of Meath are all born in that hospital. There is no maternity hospital in Meath other than that one (that is only in Meath by a few metres) but in a town often (wrongly) said to be in County Louth alone. So the country location of the Our Lady's Hospital is irrelevant. He is a Navanman. Like all Navan people he simply couldn't be technically born there and his mother went to OLH to give birth, then came back to Navan afterwards. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:22, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong hospital. His official website says "1953 -- May 16th – Pierce Brendan Brosnan born at St. Mary’s Hospital, Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland." K1Bond007 18:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  By this logic, all us Meathmen who happened to have been born in a hospital in Dublin are Jackeens. You can have your shite, lads. We are Meathmen, no matter how much of our taxes are used to build hospitals in Dublin, which we have to use. Pierce Brosnan is as much a Meathman as Seán Boylan, Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearbhalláin and Tommy Dowd. 86.40.52.44 (talk) 18:01, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree with the above (minus the Jackeen comment!). The hospital should not count as a birthplace, rather the location of the family home one was brought up in. Please also note that Pierce Brosnan's official site has changed the birthplace to Navan, County Meath. Heggyhomolit (talk) 01:40, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

text:  We can also confirm that he must have been born in a hospital other than Our Lady of Lourdes, since its own Wikipedia page and the sources cited there state that it was founded in 1955 - two years after Brosnan's birth in 1953. Moloch dhalgren (talk) 07:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Birthplace:Navan

message: I've made some changes to the article that hopefully are non-controversial. These are on the Dalton films where there's evidence of different editors pulling different ways; i.e. someone says "Dalton's films flopped" and someone else adds "but they did OK in Europe". Or someoen says "the Dalton films were unsuccessful" and someone else adds "but critically acclaimed", etc... I've tried to simplify this because The Living Daylights wasn't unsuccessful it was a worldwide smash and was a big hit in the US. Licence to Kill was a hit, I think even in the States, but for a Bond film its US returns were disappointing. However, this is  relative and it isn't the same thing as being commercially unsuccessful. I've also removed the bit about Dalton's films being critically acclaimed. I think this is someone, again, trying to balance things up, but although The Living Daylights was well-received Licence to Kill got very mixed reviews. This is also, of course, an article on Brosnan so we don't need to go on about the Dalton films more than is really necessary for context.  JW 20:55, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: He doesn't simply live in the United States, he is an American citizen. Please see WP:MOSBIO, which dictates that a person's country of citizenship should be stated in their introductory paragraph - The opening paragraph should give:: Nationality (In the normal case this will mean the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable. Ethnicity should generally not be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability.). I did not remove the "Irish" part because he did indeed become notable while an Irish citizen, thus fulfilling part of the outlined criteria. However, his current country of citizenship should be stated in the opening. All Hallow's Wraith 08:54, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The trouble with "Irish-American" is that it is normally used for people born in the United States who are of Irish ancestry rather than Irish people who have immigrated and taken up citizenship. It is not necessarily inaccurate to call Brosnan an Irish-American but I think it would tend to mislead people. In this article, the reader can look at the text and see exactly what is meant by "Irish-American" in this particular case: but if Pierce Brosnan is ever referred to as an Irish-American without an accompanying explanation, most people will take this to mean that he is American-born. "Irish-born American citizen" or simply "Irish-born American" would remove any ambiguity. Conval 22:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Contrary to what was posted in an edit summary, his own birth certificate is actually available for purchase online (at various times on eBay) and it says 1953. The certificate was actually posted online by his agent, however, it appears to have been taken down.

message: Please stop removing the Irish Catholic category. This person also did it for the Enya article page and said the person wasn't noted for this. I have included information that Enya performed at the Vatican in December 1995, and that she doesn't like to be categorized as New Age in the sense that she doesn't identify with New Agers because she is Catholic. I also included an article that had her saying she attends mass with her family and sings in the choir.
Pierce Brosnan is Irish and Catholic. Becoming a NATURALIZED American doesn't make one NOT Irish Catholic if one's ethnicity is irish. He isn't an American of Irish descent. He became an American citizen late in life. He wasn't born here or grew up here as an Irish American child like Conan O'Brien. You can keep the American-Catholic category since American isn't an ethnicity.
Also, Pierce Brosnan is a practicing Catholic and he got married in an Irish Catholic church sometime back in 2000 in Ireland! There are tons of articles and photos of the wedding! His wife even wore a special dress for the Catholic ceremony that covered her shoulders so as not to offend the Church. She wore a strapless dress for the reception.
Stop deleting these categories that are relevant to a person's biography. Having a problem with Catholicism doesn't take away the fact that an actor, musician, or other person on Wikipedia is Catholic. --CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 20:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religion 

message: Pierce Brosnan was born in Ireland to Irish parents, who had Irish parents. He lived there for most of his early years, he holds an Irish passport and was naturalised in the US for the purpose of remaining there indefinitely because he is a Hollywood actor. This does not make him American. Irish-American is a term used to describe American-born people who have an Irish parent(s) or grandparent(s). John Travolta, Mel Gibson, the Baldwin brothers are examples of Irish-American. Maureen O'Hara is IRISH but has both Irish and US passports so she is an example of Brosnan's situation. Please do not change this back to Irish-American as it is extremely misleading. Heggyhomolit (talk) 01:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be a major misunderstanding about some basic grammar of the English language. Irish-American and Irish American do  not  have the same meaning at all. The hyphen in the former spelling clearly seems meaningless to some but it isn't at all. If you write Irish-American (with a hyphen) you denote a composition of both words and their meanings and specifically in this case a dual nationality of the person described, whereas when you write Irish American (without a hyphen) the former word becomes an adjective to the latter word, which is the substantive, and it thus specifies the meaning of a said substantive further. Specifically in this case it describes an American citizen with Irish ancestry. Therefore describing Pierce Brosnan, and anyone else in the same situation, as Irish-American (with hyphen!) is technically correct as it literally means that he holds both Irish and American citizenship, which is the case.

replies: text: This discussion probably needs to be taken up on Talk:Irish American, since it clearly affects more than just the Brosnan entry.

message: Spanglej has advised me to post comments I left on his/her talk page about my decision to remove the myth that Timothy Dalton was the first actor the Bond producers approached to replace Roger Moore in 1986. I'm currently working on a discussion article for the Timothy Dalton talk page about this issue. Although we both know Wikipedia prohibits original research in articles, I do think I have sufficient documentary primary sources to prove that the producers approached the actors in the following order: Neill->Brosnan->Dalton. The 15 May 1986 New York Post reported that EON had signed Brosnan. Bond producer Cubby Broccoli did not consider or meet Dalton until Dalton was performing The Taming of the Shrew at the Haymarket theatre (London). At this meeting Dalton mentioned he could not do the film unless it was pushed back to the fall due to his Brenda Starr commitment. (Source: Broccoli autobiography, pp.280-281.) The 1 September 1991 Los Angeles Times reports that the production company producing Brenda Starr formed in May 1986 and production began in July 1986. Numerous newspapers and books report that The Taming of the Shrew with Dalton began its eight week run at the Haymarket starting June 1986. I rely on other credible primary sources to support my position. I will cite these in the impending Timothy Dalton talk page discussion. - Fanthrillers (talk) 19:45, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Irish is fine. His American citizenship is clearly mentioned in the lead: "he became an American citizen in 2004." If he has to be referred to as an "Irish-American", why doesn't Martin Sheen? 109.76.161.84 (talk) 23:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: He is an American and an Irish citizen so its proper to call him Irish American. Thats the term that is used.--JOJ Hutton 23:13, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Irish American refers to Americans of Irish descent. Its incredibly misleading. His American citizenship is already mentioned. Stevenbfg (talk) 23:15, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It also refers to Irish born Americans. Look it up.--JOJ Hutton 23:16, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Then once again, why isn't Martin Sheen called an Irish American? Or is it only Irish celebrities you decide to force the term "Irish American" on? He could hold British citizenship as well for all we know, considering he grew up in England. Stevenbfg (talk) 23:20, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know, I've never edited that article. Perhaps it should. But don't use other articles as reference. Each article has its own consensus. Unless there is a wider community consensus at a project page or guideline.--JOJ Hutton 23:22, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes but "Irish American" is still misleading. How about "Pierce Brosnan is an Irish actor, film producer and environmentalist. He holds both Irish and American citizenship." I know we aren't supposed to reference other articles but that's how we compromised Daniel Day-Lewis, an article which I also edited. Stevenbfg (talk) 23:25, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No its not misleading. Its only misleading if you want it to be. And besides, Pierce Brosnan's own bio on his own OFFICIAL WEBSITE calls him Irish-American. He therefore self identifies as Irish-American and Wikipedia has always taken a person wishes into consideration when they are categorized and/or referred to. That basically ends this discussion.--JOJ Hutton 23:30, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I wasn't aware of his official website but that reference clearly indicates he has no problem with being called Irish American. I concede then. Stevenbfg (talk) 23:37, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank You.--JOJ Hutton 23:40, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: He's still referred to as solely Irish. How does Brosnan feel about his identity? I think we can all take a guess.--109.149.122.179 (talk) 09:54, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Brosnan's Nationality 

message: Can someone please stop tagging GoldenEye: Rogue Agent to Brosnan's profile? The actor, at the slightest, has no relation to the video game, and any similarities between his appearance if seen, which there aren't by any chance, are coincidental. The actor playing the presumed James Bond character in the game is Jason Carter, and by the time the game was made, Brosnan was already out of the Bond league, blocking his likeness, voice and image to be used in any film or video game released after Everything or Nothing. For proofs, check the following MI6-HQ.Com articles in the video game coverage section. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.70.183.30 (talk) 07:35, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004) 

message: "Brosnan has stated on television that he voted for Margaret Thatcher three times in a row (in the 1979, 1983, and 1987 general elections)."
I've removed this because it has no sources.  Also noteworthy that Brosnan is Irish, and would have to be a UK resident to be able to vote in a UK election.2600:1700:EA01:1090:B916:23E:4207:CD36 (talk) 15:01, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
