The Irish at the time had none of the above, they were, like your Maoris, a bunch of tribes or clans as they prefer with multiple 'kings'. So like your descendants we were bringing the angelic benefit of civilization to them.

The Irish had been a lot more civilised than the English for a lot longer.

Plantations of Ireland.

Plantations in 16th- and 17th-century Ireland involved the confiscation of land by the English crown and the colonisation of this land with settlers from the island of Great Britain. There had already been smaller-scale immigration to Ireland as far back as the 12th century, which had resulted in a distinct ethnicity in Ireland known as the Old English, or Hiberno-Normans. Unofficial plantations carried out privately by landlords also took place, such as those in County Antrim and County Down.

The 16th-century plantations were established through large areas of the country by the confiscation of lands occupied by Gaelic clans and Hiberno-Norman dynasties, but principally in the provinces of Munster and Leinster. The Crown granted these lands to colonists ("planters") from England. This process began during the reign of Henry VIII and continued under Mary I and Elizabeth I. It was accelerated under James I, when the Plantation of Ulster took place on land escheated from those Gaelic chiefs who broke the terms of surrender and regrant, Charles I, and Oliver Cromwell; in their time, land was also granted to Scottish planters.

The early plantations in the 16th century tended to be based on small "exemplary" colonies. The later plantations were based on mass confiscations of land from Irish landowners and the subsequent importation of numerous settlers and labourers from England and Wales, and later from Scotland.

The final government-planned plantations were established under the English Commonwealth and Cromwell's Protectorate during the 1650s, when thousands of Parliamentarian soldiers were settled in Ireland. Apart from the plantations, significant immigration into Ireland continued well into the 18th century, from both Great Britain and continental Europe.

The plantations changed the demography of Ireland by creating large communities with a British and Protestant identity. The ruling classes of these communities replaced the older Catholic ruling class, which had shared with the general population a common Irish identity and set of political attitudes.[1] The new ruling class represented both English and Scottish interests in Ireland. The physical and economic nature of Irish society was also changed, as new concepts of ownership, trade, and credit were introduced. These changes led to the creation of a Protestant Ascendancy, which during the 17th century secured the authority of Crown government in Ireland from Dublin.

It would be best if Ulster men and women thought of themselves as Irish( as did my own mother) It would be a peaceful solution if the DUP and sympathisers wished for a united Ireland within Europe.

Ireland at the time did not have a uniting government nor a national identity so your argument that the colonists of America, NZ, et al, holds for Ireland. So where do you go from there?

Ah! And now we get to the root cause of your PC 'outrage'.

Brexit well may raise this issue as they largely voted to stay in the EU but you're on a hiding to nothing if you think the DUP will give up being British as they seem to have a problem with a powerful political priesthood who takes it's orders from Rome.

No it really didn't dingbat. The title 'High King' just meant the strongest king amongst kings, basically the toughest of the petty 'kings' of tribes. There was no united government, unlike England who'd had Kings and a Queen for yonks by then.

I'll leave you to work it out 'Pommy dingbat'. 'Justify' it all you want. The English were criminal tossbuckets and theives when it came to Ireland and you know it.

per historical fact, other way around, Scotts irish prot Northern part of Ireland,

not vice verse as your assursion,

Not really as I was talking about the reverse mass immigration from Ireland to Scotland during the Irish Famine.

Who's an Ozzie?

Well not necessarily on the UK

yes i know - i'm american, but informed and interested in other nations (and geo-polictics, blowback/etc for the rest of us) - world is small now, so to be an informed citizen (of whatever nation, and with the net - there is no excuse to not be informed anymore).

part but the EU will want to impose a border there

yes of course! the ball was in there court these past 3 years.

did my post you replied to imply that the Brits had the mandate to fix the or not fix a hard boarder in Ireland? I hope my post did not say that, that was not my intent. Reality is border issue is left up to ROI (primarily) and the EU (Secondarily), not the UK.

and I agree that logically there will have to be one as there is no way the Northern Irish will have one in the Irish Sea.

of course, but May - being a traitor to her Nation (choosing personal survival/her party over her Nation) - will side with the DUP thugs with dreams of a united Ireland as Protestant and English - both characteristics of which are delusional and counter to the arc of history (and so folly).

but so be it, the DUP, May and the 19 million (52 percent in 2016) - were/are fools shouting at the wind.

good riddence to may/Dup, an England. may the wise Scots vote to leave the UK, and make the UK England.

Wales i welcome doing the same, and NI dissapearing into the ROI after the reforendum which will happen in a couple of years.

- i value the Rule of LAw and is the NI per the reforendum vote to remain with the fools in England, fine, its would be a legal yet foolish result (but i don't think they will vote that way - esp after 1/2 of the brokerages moved from London to Dublin prior).

Well given NI did largely vote remain
