It's debatable really, they formed in Dublin in 1984 and their original line-up was all Irish, so there you could argue they are an Irish band. They moved to Holland shortly after before settling in London and changing the line-up, recruiting two English members Bilinda Butcher and Debbie Googe, and becoming associated with the jangle-pop scene and later the shoegazing scene in London. To me they feel more like an English band though, their website domain is even 'co.uk', but it's probably 50:50 really.
