Because anybody born on the island of Ireland, including Northern Ireland, has the right to Irish citizenship.
Until the individual applies for their passport, or otherwise asserts their citizenship, they are both Irish and British or neither Irish nor British, depending on your view of Quantum Theory. |  | | |

I coulda played for England, the USA, Germany, Poland or Russia - either of those last two because the borders changed in the early 20th C - what happens in those cases, do you get the choice?! [Post edited 2 Jul 2024 10:28]

Northern Ireland and Irish Citizenship
The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 gave people born in Northern Ireland the right to claim Irish citizenship if they chose to do so.
The Good Friday Agreement, which was signed between the Irish and British governments in 1998, confirmed that people born in Northern Ireland could choose to be either British or Irish citizens.
Since 1 January 2005, if you are born in Northern Ireland, you can claim Irish citizenship if your parent (or parents) are either British or Irish citizens, or one of them has lived on the island of Ireland for at least 3 out of the 4 years immediately before your birth. |
Didn’t say any different did I? Married to a NI lass I think we get it👍 | | | |

No players in the squad who can play for national teams in Continental Europe at the moment maybe but if Ndaba signs for Kilmarnock he will be playing in a European club competition - but then he won't be in the squad.
When are the squad numbers out anyway ? | |
