Maybe they have an Irish great grandparent somewhere - which British guy in any major UK city doesn't have an Irish ancestor somewhere down the line? - but I believe the Hunts are pretty much of full English descent. However their former colleague, Jimmy M., is of half Irish descent.
Adams are of full Irish descent as are the Reilly's - like most families in that part of Northeast London. The Brindle's and the Daly's in Southeast London are both of half Irish descent.
Anyway, I think any of those guys will regard themselves as Londoners first and foremost.
True where they were born and grew up is more relevant the Hunt's grew up in canning town near the port back in the days a real slum it had London’s largest black population of any area in London.
