Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in 2004/2005, this article explores the construal, change and redefinition of ethno-national identity in Ireland's Eastern border counties. Focusing on the structural properties of generational positions that simultaneously enable and constrain individuals’ construal of identity, we analyze changes in the definition of Irishness in relation to recent cultural and political changes on the island.
