Say your Russian, and you've been living here for 7 years. There is no point saying your Irish when your not. Whats wrong with standing out and being different?

If you want people to know you've been here a while throw in a few colloquials into your speech, such as 'grand', 'thanks a million','whats the craic' etc etc.....and that should make anyone know you've been here a while.

Some of the Polish I know nearly sound as Dublin as me, and some of them probably haven't been here for 7 years yet.

It doesn't matter where you live, you'll always be Russian.

I have Irish citizenship.I lived in Ireland for 14 years and I always saw myself as an Australian and will always be Australian,just the same way as my husband and children and I now live in Australia and my husband and children will always be Irish.

Sounds like you're Russian Irish! You'll always be Russian, but if you've naturalised then you're Irish too and the more you throw in colloquialisms and work on the accent, the less people will ask. I once came across a barman in Prague who I'd have sworn from his accent was a Dub, but it turned out he was Czech!

Your are Russian, you were born there that's what nationality you are. When you get your citizenship here in ireland, you will be classified as an irish citizen. So Irish/Russian. What ever you want.
Anyway, who cares what ppl think, chin up and be proud of who you are regardless of your nationality.

your nationality is Irish, only if you are an irish citizen, but your ethnicity is always going to be russian.
