I appreciate that you seem to be a proud Irish nationalist, but inserting the dubious tag here

Kevin Myers

Kevin Myers is, for all his other sins, not a Unionist. Yes, he was born in England, but he wrote in the Sunday Telegraph about why he chose to be Irish, and in the Irish Times, he described the Scots and Welsh as being like people who complain about their parents but still go home to them.

General Sir John Winthrop Hackett

It says this fellow was born to Irish catholic parents. However, the article on Hacketts Junior's father says that Hackett Senior, while born in Dublin, was a prominant member of the Church of England.

Sounds to me like a case of 2+2=5, along the lines of, "Hackett's parents were Irish; Irish are Catholic; therefore Hackett was Catholic". In fact I can't see any indication that he was. As you say, Hackett snr was an Anglican; and Hackett jnr was at Geelong GS, which certainly is not a Catholic school. Bill Tegner 22:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tend to agree - would support the removal of info Weggie 22:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ruth Dudley Edwards

No sources were provided to verify that Ruth Dudley is a supporter of unionism. Though she has criticised Irish Republicanism, she has stated she is "not in principle against Irish unification".

Irish-origin in Britain

Inserted for balance. While not living in Ireland some cultural aspects have carried on. Considering also the European Union, describing anyone as a "Catholic Unionist" is likely to become meaningless as time passes.86.42.197.84 (talk) 09:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orange Order and Dup

I have removed the reference to the dup and and Orange Order as the Orange order is UUP C. 22468 (talk) 01:55, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Alliance?

As the article itself explicitly says that the Alliance party is not unionist, why is it mentioned here? From their own website http://allianceparty.org/
