Come on the Irish
Do your self and your country proud 🇮🇪👍

[@dvmcdonagh]

I hope he does well too but he is not Irish. Stop that shite will you have you no pride in yourself or your people. He is Vietnamese he was born in Vietnam his family are Vietnamese he lives here in Ireland and has chosen to compete for Ireland which I respect and admire.

​@@dvmcdonagh He does your country proud yet he isn't one of you? Get your head checked mate, he and his family are as Irish as any other Irish person. Born Vietnamese, sure, but they call Ireland home. They've even spent most of their lives in Ireland.

[@dvmcdonagh]

@@smugsona No they are not as Irish as any other Irish person how could they be that is ridiculous.

[@dezzydream]

​@@dvmcdonagh saying this is crazy when so many white people claim to be american

[@JakeBerenson]

​@@dvmcdonaghHe is Vietnamese but learnt and growth in Ireland. Ireland give him talent, not Vn.

Yeah and Siobhán Haughey the grand niece of Charlie Haughey is representing Hong Kong because that’s where she was born and raised. That’s how emigration works.
