Welsh and British ?

Mary McAleese, President of the Republic of Ireland, visited Ulster on Thursday.
...
Whilst visiting an Orange hall in Cavan, she said .....
...
“It is possible to be both Irish and British, possible to be both Orange and Irish. We face into a landscape of new possibilities and understandings.”
...
The republicans naturally rejected what she said.
...
No doubt Plaid Cymru would reject the notion of being Welsh and British.

I consider myself English but not British. I think you can be English if you are a UK citizen living in England. But at the end of the day it's up to individuals how they regard themselves.
