Well seeing as his claim to Irishness is based on his parents, not where he was brought up, he'd presumably disagree with you.
Edit: I don't have any problem with his representing Ireland by the way. It's just by any real world, non-sport definition someone who was born in Britain and grew up here is British (albeit influenced by the culture and country of their parents, of course).

Certainly doesn't seem like that.
What do you think of Froome as a GB rider?

Erm. I don't think that's quite right.

I don't see how that makes him less Irish. If your parents are different nationalities I think it's perfectly normal to have an affinity with both countries.
Martin has his reasons for choosing to represent Ireland, I think that decision should be respected.
