The experience of Irish Britons, those with Irish heritage born in Britain, is complex and often unacknowledged compared to Irish Americans. Despite a significant population with Irish ancestry (six million with at least one Irish grandparent), few identify as "White Irish" in the census. This group often grapples with a blended identity, feeling both English and Irish, and expressing Irishness through values, a connection to Ireland, and family history. While some embrace their heritage, many find the term "Irish Briton" rarely used and struggle to define their unique position within British society.
