There have to be a lot of them.. Cromwell and others saw to it that most of the ancestral Irish were dead or transported. Some but not most. Between what Cromwell did and the Famine in the 1800's( also brought on by the same mentality).. It did a damn good job but hey it left plenty of room for plastic Irish now didn't it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwellian_conquest_of_Ireland Quote the 1649-53 campaign remains notorious in Irish popular memory as it was responsible for a huge death toll among the Irish population. The reason for this was the counter-guerrilla tactics used by such commanders as Henry Ireton, John Hewson and Edmund Ludlow against the Catholic population from 1650, when large areas of the country still resisted the Parliamentary Army. These tactics included the wholesale burning of crops, forced population movement and killing of civilians. The policy caused famine throughout the country that was "responsible for the majority of an estimated 600,000 deaths out of a total Irish population of 1,400,000." [27] In addition, the whole post-war Cromwellian settlement of Ireland has been characterised by historians such as Mark Levene and Alan Axelrod as ethnic cleansing, in that it sought to remove Irish Catholics from the eastern part of the country, others such as the historical writer Tim Pat Coogan have described the actions of Cromwell and his subordinates as genocide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Potato_Famine Quote Approximately one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland. Considering that even today the population of Ireland is only about 4 million that is a LOT of death visited on one people. Population: 4,062,235 (July 2006 est.)

Skyrad 0 #19 March 17, 2010 Even using your figures and facts 600,000 still isn't even 50% of the 1.4M so I am correct in my assertation that it was some but not most. To say that most ancestral irish were dead or transported is simply not true and you have provided the figures to prove it, thanks.

Well if its so terrible all of those who wish to gloss over the history of the Emerald Isle should perhaps go home and leave it to the Irish who managed to survive..... even the not so ancient history. Only an idiot would stay where they were not wanted or needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
