How about we just say he's a good writer and be done with it?

I think of him as a British writer than an Irish because he spent more time in England than Ireland, and his books have more to do with English than Irish people.

Besides, Tolkien was born in South Africa and I wouldn't call him a South African author.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
