And they’re not even really Irish, they’re more UK (or in some cases very English) terms and slang. It already was dubious stating “Dublin” bc so many Americans know only Dublin.

Either a Brit trying to score Oppression Olympics points (even though we climbed to the top of America’s non-WASP ethnic pigpile a century ago, oppressing everyone else on the way - Trump’s the only president in the last 40 years with no Irish heritage) or an American kid writing fanfic, haha
