Line 321:
Stoker and Thornley; the names of his parents are both ethnically English (these are not Gaelic names, hes not an O'Brien, a McCarthy, a Kennedy, a O'Connor; an ethnic Irishman) and he was brought up in the Anglican sect there. Along with his British passport. This seems to be more a case of the Irish (and romantic Yanks) whinging about "the Brits" in Ireland and then trying to claim all of the fruits of the very thing they most love to whinge about. They do the same with [[Robert Boyle]]. - [[Special:Contributions/90.219.249.8|90.219.249.8]] ([[User talk:90.219.249.8|talk]]) 10:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't see what his name has to do with anything or the fact that he belonged to the church of Ireland this is a very nineteenth century nationalistic view. I am Irish and I can assure you I am not whinging nor do I have a problem with the British. I just have a problem with Irish writers/people born during the Act of Union being exclusively termed as British especially when Irish people weren't at the time. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.47.12.178|86.47.12.178]] ([[User talk:86.47.12.178|talk]]) 16:58, 4 March 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
