You need to read your History. The Roman Catholics were not given rights to own property, vote, hold office, etc. until the late 19th Century. And the English need to get their backsides out of Ireland and STAY OUT! One of my ancestors fought in the Easter Uprising of 1916, and he would have expressed his opinion much more bombastically than I......

Tex - You stated:
the Catholics should have equal say, and that government needs to be fully Irish.

I asked since when Catholics don't have an equal say. Since when can they not vote?

And you bring up the 19 century and Easter Uprising??? LOL.

Again, why don't you try to explain:
1) How Catholics don't have any equal say
2) Why you don't support the people democratically choosing what their government is. You've stated that the government must be fully Irish. But what if they people don't choose that?

and just for fun
3) Care define in what ways the English are in Ireland that are unacceptable?

Or do you just want to keep spouting off about your dead ancestors fighting in uprisings and grandfathers giving thrashings?
