Oh dear Raggy so Strongbow, de Lacy and Henry II did no more in Ireland as Normans than their predecessors had done in England 100 years before - WOW - get over it - that was the norm throughout Europe in those days. The thing that brought the Normans to Ireland was a dispute between two IRISH Kings. By the time the dust settled all those Irish Kings had sworn an oath of fealty to Henry and acknowledged him as "King of Ireland".

All the others you mention treated the Irish no differently than they treated the Welsh, English or the Scots.

Your pathetic attempts at portraying Ireland as a united entity where everything was peace and light before the arrival of the Normans is ludicrous. That greedy, self-serving Irish nobles sought their own advancement by plotting and colluding with foreign powers is undeniable. That their attempts at rebellion failed miserably is another undeniable historical fact, but do not for one second try and promote them as unstinting efforts on behalf of the people of Ireland to win independence - the people of Ireland never entered their thinking for one nano-second.

As previously stated - try doing some reading that is not fiction - you might actually learn something.
