Cracks me up when little brothers like the Scots and the Paddies think stuff like this is some massive burn, it’s the Mad Men meme “we don’t think about you at all”
Haven’t you noticed that the British simply don’t care about the Irish whatsoever?
If I recall that it wasn’t the UK that insisted on English being a top tier language of the EU (I can’t remember what the term they use is), we were happy to compromise and realise we’re out numbered. It was the Irish that wanted English as one of the top languages as they are as stubborn as we are in terms of leaning a second language.
If you want to go all in to piss us off, get Fr*nch as the official language of Ireland instead and just have French & German as the main EU languages.

Since Ireland is the only English speaking nation in the EU, we should call the country ‘England’
Call it whatever you want. We didn’t start the displacement and ultimate replacement of all of your native languages by being picky about its name.
Wdym? Scandinavia is also full of English-speaking countries.
Irish? You meant Gaelic?
So what would we call Irish then?
English is an official language of Malta and spoken by 90% of the population.
Just call it Welsh (the true native culture and language of Britain)
We should just change the official language of the EU to whatever is now the most prominent Language in the EU.

I’ve already seen automatic machines using the Irish flag instead of the UK’s to switch the language to English =)
Malta
Would actually be quite funny, because it would also annoy the Gaeltacht as Irish is already an EU language
Malta: am I a joke to you?
And we all know all the EU nations speak English 😉
Smartest potato farmer opinion
This would 100% piss off the Irish, not the English.
Désolé, je ne comprends pas l’irlandais.
Irish is already a language you dimwit

Don’t say it, Don’t say it, Don’t say it….
By that logic we should call it “American” then.
