Northern Irish
From the six
Northern Irish describes people and things from Northern Ireland, the region of the United Kingdom occupying the northeastern part of the island of Ireland.
As a noun, the Northern Irish are the people of this region: The Northern Irish have complex relationships with both British and Irish identity.
The term navigates politically sensitive terrain—some residents identify as British, others as Irish, others as distinctly Northern Irish.
