Technically true, but they've been here since the middle-ages so we can at least give them "honorary" Irish status at this point πŸ˜‰

Do 'The Honourable The Irish Society' still control access to waterways in ROI like they do in the North?

The IFI and - maybe - Waterways Ireland are the only agencies with statutory powers RE canals; well, aside from the GardaΓ­...

Who're this Irish Society you're on about...?
