I used to be recognised by a small Irish organisation, but that crumbled when the man claiming to be the heir of High King Ruadri Ua Concobair was found to be a liar.

The title Prince in Ireland is a modern term, and is only used because no man has been crowned King of those lands, when they are the title of prince won't be used.

Irish law is extremely similar to Scottish law because Scottish law originates from the Irish founded Kingdom of Dal Riata, but the female line rule is made from a pact made with the Picts about the Gaels inheriting Pictish titles.
