Subject: RE: BS: Protestant State!
Oh no Gareth, not 1641, please. But: as in 1798, there were stupid sectarian massacres by both sides. Portadown (1641) and Scullabogue (1798) were not one way. The historical facts are there. Plus ca change or whatever... Good comment though about ethnic cleansing and mutual denying of rights. Does ethnic cleansing ultimately favour the Catholics? Penning the Protestants into two or three, unviable, counties?
Mudcat isn't obsessed with Irishry, just some of us!
