Served in Ireland, fighting against their fellow Irish? I think not.

Yes, they did. A lot.

Look up the Easter Rebellion for a more recent example. Even the local Irish police fought with the UK on that one. The Royal Irish Regiment, raised and commanded and quartered in Ireland, fought the rebels in Dublin.

Make the distinction now. A lot of Irish in years past who were C of E identified as British, and a lot of Irish who were Catholic identified as Irish. Not so strong these days, but that's how it was.
....

Who were mislim Irish identified as?

Reality is a figment of imagination

But Catholic Irish still served in the UK military. There wasnt any other military.

I know what you're getting at.

There is a lot of racism in the ROI, at least whispered amongst the locals. Joining the EU has left them open to the multiculti swamp of immigrants.

Extremist Irish have generally identified with the Palestinians against the Israelis because they see it as a freedom from the British thing more so than a religious thing.

I am from a foreign government. This is not a joke. I am authorised to investigate state and federal bodies including ASIO.

Back in the day, not many Irish from NI would have been joining the British military, perhaps some from the ROI, these days yes different, but these days they aren't really deploying on a war footing to Ireland either. It would be interesting to know how many Catholics would have deployed on Irish soil fighting against the various IRA factions. The irony was unionist factions were never targeted as hard as the republican factions, and the unionist factions used to get support from the British government.

They're nearly all criminals these days anyway. No soul left in much of it.

They have, and still do. But they wouldnt know a Koran or a Hadith if it mugged them in a dark alley.
