Really? Its OK to commit genocide (your word) against "nomadic tribes"? Of course given that the Celtic Irish were, well into Tudor times, largely a herding people, following their cattle from summer pastures, to winter pastures, and back, with the seasons, your comment reveals not only your moral bankruptcy, but your historical ignorance. Try again.
I never said that it was! You are the one trying to justify the attempted genocide of the Irish by the English by ignorantly accusing Americans of the same thing. Read a history book.

Nonsense. The Irish had farms and raised cattle. Very different from following the migrations of the buffalo.
From a Wikipedia entry about Ireland At the Céide Fields, preserved beneath a blanket of peat in present-day County Mayo, is an extensive field system, arguably the oldest in the world, dating from not long after this period. Consisting of small divisions separated by dry-stone walls, the fields were farmed for several centuries between 3,500 and 3,000 BC. Wheat and barley were the principal crops.
You are total moron.
