That said, here are some terms that have been used to refer to Irish people:
* Paddy: This term has a long history, and while it's not universally considered offensive, it can be seen as outdated and potentially derogatory.
* Mick: Similar to Paddy, this term can also be seen as outdated and potentially offensive.
* Irishman/Irishwoman: This is the most neutral and respectful way to refer to someone of Irish origin.
It's always best to err on the side of caution and use respectful language when referring to people of any ethnicity.
If you are unsure about the appropriateness of a term, it's always best to ask someone from the community you are referring to.
