Rag,
One cut and paste from the web gives us the viewpoint of one historian, not many and certainly not most.
So give us clear unequivical facts to back up your statement.
I have done that Rag.
It is all in the threads. Look it up yourself.
For now, here is a quote from an historian who does agree with Jim stating that most historians do not, and have not for over eighty years, though believing that will change.
"Revisionism has dominated Irish historiography since the 1930s, and more intensely since the 1960s. However, as a new generation of historians emerges and more research is undertaken, it is unlikely that this domination will continue."
