You make a good point, which is one reason I mentioned Parnell. A lot of these people were sympathetic to the Irish cause. However, I doubt that many were truly "as Irish as they come", as a sheer matter of cultural background and social standing........

Joan-- Whatever Heaney considers himself these days, he was raised a Catholic in the six counties and now resides in the south of Ireland. Most famously (or infamously) Heaney objected to his inclusion in an anthology of British poetry with the following: Be advised my passport's green No glass of ours was ever raised To toast the Queen. English insiders better suited to reading press releases than poetry mooted Heaney's name for poet laureate when Ted Hughes died. See above. ian
