I think the Irish after a few generations seem to blend into other British populations. Some of the most famous English entertainers have some Irish ancestry.
Kate Bush, David Bowie, Billy Idol, Johnny Lydon (Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols), most of the Smiths (including Morissey), Liam and Noel Gallagher, David Essex, Boy George, 3 of the Beatles etc. The list could go on and on. Anyway it shows the impact in just one area that the Irish have had on Britain.
There have been a couple of British PMs with Irish ancestry Tony Blair and James Callaghan even Maggie Thatcher had some Irish ancestry.
So in answer to your question I don't think now there would be any drawback to being Irish or of Irish ancestry in the UK. There are a large amount of English with Irish ancestry.
