I think Ged's point just emphasises the problematic status of any definition we
might try to work with in EO. Does 'Irish ethnicity' mean the same here as
there? I am reminded of an academic Ulsterman I once knew. I don't know what
his community affiliation is and in fact it was totally irrelevant in an English
university town. What was more relevant was his donkey jacket, wild hair and
accent. After resetting a burglar alarm for the place he was responsible for,
around midnight, he lingered in the street to see if it went off again. The
policeman who accosted him did not believe his claim to be the curator of the
museum.
