\begin{proof}
Write $E = \bigcup U_i \cap Z_i$ as the finite union of
intersections of open sets $U_i$ and closed sets $Z_i$.
Suppose that $E \cap Z$ is dense in $Z$. Note that
the closure of $E \cap Z$ is the union of the closures
of the intersections $U_i \cap Z_i \cap Z$. As $Z$ is irreducible we
conclude that the closure of $U_i \cap Z_i \cap Z$ is $Z$ for some $i$.
Fix such an $i$. It follows that $Z \subset Z_i$ since otherwise
the closed subset $Z \cap Z_i$ of $Z$ would not be dense in $Z$.
Then $U_i \cap Z_i \cap Z = U_i \cap Z$ is an open nonempty subset of $Z$.
Because $Z$ is irreducible, it is open dense. Hence $E \cap Z$
contains an open dense subset of $Z$.
The converse is obvious.
The implication (1) $\Rightarrow$ (2) is clear. Assume (2).
Note that $E \cap Z$ is a finite union of locally closed subsets
$Z_i$ of $Z$. Since $Z$ is irreducible, one of the $Z_i$ must
be dense in $Z$. Then this $Z_i$ is dense open in $Z$ as it is
open in its closure. Hence (1) holds.

\medskip\noindent
Suppose that $\xi \in Z$ is a generic point. Of course if
(1) $\Leftrightarrow$ (2) holds, then $\xi \in E$. Conversely,
if $\xi \in E$, then $\xi \in U_i \cap Z_i$ for some $i = i_0$.
Clearly this implies $Z \subset Z_{i_0}$ and hence
$U_{i_0} \cap Z_{i_0} \cap Z = U_{i_0} \cap Z$ is an open
not empty subset of $Z$. We conclude as before.
Suppose that $\xi \in Z$ is a generic point. If the equivalent conditions
(1) and (2) hold, then $\xi \in E$. Conversely, if $\xi \in E$ then
$\xi \in E \cap Z$ and hence $E \cap Z$ is dense in $Z$.
