    I would bet he is half Romanian without a doubt. There are even Irish people with grandparents and great grandparents that are from places like Cyprus, Italy, Greece etc. There has always been some immigration to Ireland even if it was lower numbers and someone in their 30s with an non-Irish parent would not be unusual at all. That man definitely was not fully Irish.

    There was even men like Paul McGrath who had a Nigerian father and he was born in 1959 and there are plenty of Irish people from the past who have some foreign ancestry like Linda Martin who was born in 1952 and her paternal great-grandfather Francis Martini was born in Dublin to immigrants from Saronno, north of Milan, Italy. There's most probably plenty of Irish with some foreign ancestry. Your logic is faulty.

    I looked up his ancestry and didn't see any Romanians in his family, he didn't even look that unirish really after all you have people like the Coors, Susan Boyle who could pass in eastern Europe.

    The Corrs not the Coors. You should get the name correct. You and Cristiano viejo are the only ones who keep calling the Corrs the Coors. Yes he did look Romanian and not Irish. Anyway we've discussed enough. I've made my views known and we just go around in circles.

There are plenty of them for you to post if you wanted to.

    I just feel you are trying to other the Irish or exoticize them.
    Florian is rarely used as a first name in Romania. Florian is much more popular in Germany and Austria.
    The Romanian equivalent is Florin.

    That said, when Florian is used as a family name, the person is likely Romanian.
