Only with outsiders. I've found they talk about it all the time when alone.
It's knda unavidable because it's so deeply inbedded in the culture.
Now what they DON'T want to talk about is US politics. Perhaps you misread

That said i didn't know Snow Patrol were from Northern Ireland. Thogh I
rarely pay attention to NI bands. Largly they are shite.
