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.

Good old Irish name, Varadkar. You know what I mean and hardly affected by the British maltreatment (which I don't question).
