What part about the English domination of Ireland don't you understand?

- The fact that the British government took their land and gave it to the English aristocrats and Scottish settlers

- The fact that Catholic Irish were not permitted to vote or even attend sessions of the Irish Parliament

- The fact that more than 1-million Irish died of starvation during the 1840s and England, only a few hundred miles away, did little to help their subjects

- The fact that Irish were discriminated against simply because of their religion.

Considering the way they were oppressed for centuries, I believe the Irish Republic is unbelievably tolerant. I doubt that you are truly a Catholic Irishman but if you truly are, I might suggest you consider moving to England, where you can worship the monarchy on a daily basis. It appears servitude is something you enjoy.

I could tell you the same stuff about the Indians, are going to hand America back to the Indians?

No point using history as a stick against the present!!
