nonsmoker: Guinness is no longer Irish !
was it ever?

Being that Arthur Guinness was born into the Protestant Guinness family,
the land at James gate was rented from protestants and the money that funded it was donated by the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel,

As Irish as the queen I say, So German by default



Protestants are allowed be Irish too scold

Shure all the protestants living on our island will be Irish soon, and when we get rid of those July marches, they will happily be beating their drums on paddies day. ireland

Given that old Arthur was a supporter of Catholic emancipation, against home rule and could well have been a British spy, then no I don't think he considered himself to be Irish..
Although like many modern industrialists he had no qualms about using this country's cheap work force and tax avoidance schemes.. grin

Although I could be wrong on a lot of that. dunno
