Daniel Day-Lewis is an Englishman with both British and Irish citizenship. He was born in London. Therefore, he is NOT Irish.

The Edge from U2 was born in Wales. I don't think anyone would say that he is Welsh (well, maybe gophils would).

might be a horse if you were born in a stable...although wasn't Jesus born in a stable? Suppose he is whatever nationality HE says he is, being born and brought up in England with British citizenship and passport, he chose to apply for an Irish one in 1993, and now lives in Ireland, so I reckon he sees himself Irish.
