He was probably lukewarm about representing Ireland anyway, leaning towards the Gb team or expressing a preference for a possible NI team if such were to exist.
Graeme McDowell also will not be going to Rio, as his wife is expecting a baby when the Olympics will be on.

Nobody wants to go.
Free trip to Rio for someone here.

Id agree with your comment that he was lukewarm from day one and this was the perfect opportunity to get out of it.
But Id rather see Harrington go and represent his Country as he is a true Irishman not like the orange man.

I am a bit vague on detail but I kind of remember someone once saying that McIlroy was Catholic but not from a strongly nationalist area originally.
There is also a Northern Irish identity developing among some younger. Catholics or an acceptance that remaining with Britain is their best bet at the moment. Probably more true outside of the more entrenched and maybe poorer city areas.
Possibly got his head turned by all the team GB talk of the London Olympics too.

From what I remember I think his da was a protest-ant and his ma a Catholic so maybe he was reared Catholic but
has his daddy's beliefs. I could be totally wrong of course but he is a guy I could never take too like for instance
Darren Clarke or Mc Dowell .

What I cant figure about this Zika virus controversy is why only the golfers are expressing fears about travelling to Brazil. What about the track and field athletes, swimmers,boxers, tennis players etc who will be there? I have not read a word from any other sportspeople about this or do the golfers think they are somehow more at risk?

Simple answer is the golfers have their money made as most Athletes depend on sponsorship and need to showcase themselves
at the top events like Olympics and world championships. Golfers are like Soccer players Overpaid!!!.
