Anyway, by your analogy we can stretch to the various invaders of England in the days before Kirk Douglas (to coin a phrase from Porridge).
No, they’re not - you just say they are.

To (most) Irish, and those of Irish descent, it’s History - we acknowledge it, but know it’s in the past, and don’t get bitter (if only others did the same).

Vardakar was born in Dublin, his mother is from County Waterford - how is he "non-native Irish"?

That’s like saying my son and daughter are "non-native English" because I was born in Scotland, even though they were born, and have lived all their lives (not counting Uni and travels abroad) in Yorkshire.

"non-native Irish" - shame on you.
