This is quite complex.
British means belonging to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The island of Ireland consists of Northern Irelandand a State called either Ireland or Eire.
Irish may mean an inhabitant of the island of Ireland (i.e Eire or Northern Ireland in the UK) or it may refer to just Eire. So Irish may include some British.
[Prior to the early 20th Century, Eire and Northern Ireland were united and part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Irish citizens from Eire are still allowed to vote in British elections if resident in the UK.]
