Probably in the USA people stopped caring about whether or not you were Irish some time after the 1940s. In the UK anti-irish racism continued throughout the troubles well into the 90s, and there are still some English people who have stuck with the good old tradition of hating Irish people (though much less now).
americans learned to accept the irish after a famous politician of irish extraction dedicated his life to transparency, even going so far as to show the inside of his mind to the american people.
I'm honestly surprised neo-nazis haven't tried doing the aryan neo-pagan thing with the irish yet: white skin, red hair, vaguely pagan celtic aesthetics co-opted as like a second pole of aryan ubermensch.
They do have some but half of it is inside clearly legendary and incredibly funny book which cannot be repurposed for fash, and the other half is very old, badly documented and have names straight out of Robert Howard stories.
Also later, and much better documented are Irish struggles against two of the favourite groups of western fash: vikings and Brits.
Were the irish ever really allowed into whiteness? Not the like 5th generation american ones i mean, the actual irish.

The Irish don't have a history of conquest or "warrior culture" stuff that the neo-nazis like to co-opt.
