Accepted DBE in New Year Honours 2022, so update needed. I would do it myself but it needs a proper citation. Mdrb55 ( talk) 11:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC) reply

I've removed a very odd little note in the article about honours to Irish citizens. The constitution is very clear about this: "No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen except with the prior approval of the Government." Unless the editor was simply making a "the UK could ignore Irish law if it wanted to, we have nukes and such!" point (which isn't especially helpful to anyone), the claim as written was flat-out false. 109.255.211.6 ( talk) 09:43, 8 January 2023 (UTC) reply
