"Nationality: Irish" ? I doubt it, he looks like very much a British Irishman.--218.103.179.98 (talk) 13:48, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orange ref - that we should not simply zap it, but instead give both sides, via some sort of "..as widely believed, but in fact looks pretty shaky" explanation. - Snori (talk) 12:50, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
