Unless you managed to write into your local bishop requesting that your baptism be purged, before they removed that provision from canon law (which was in about 2011 after 13,000 Irish people officially left the church in ten months after the site countmeout.org publicised the rule), then yeah you're considered catholic under their rules.
Which technically makes me eligible to be elected Pope. Contrary to popular belief, one needn't be a member of the clergy to be elevated to the Chair of St. Peter - all adult male Catholics are eligible. In practical terms, though, it's fairly unlikely.
Still - His Holiness Boru the First has rather a nice ring to it...
