Sinn Fein members elected to Westminster

[Roy Bloom]

What is your point .

Your arguments are nonsense.
Odds said that Protestants, even though they were minority, denied rights to Catholics in NI.
You responded by lsiting a few Acts of Irish Parliament that covered the whole of (then unified) Ireland.
One of those Acts created limits on Catholic Priests:

• Registration Act 1704

• 
  The Registration Act (2 Ann c.7; long title An Act for registering the Popish Clergy) was an Act of the Parliament of Ireland passed in 1704, which required all "Popish" (Roman Catholic) priests to register at their local magistrates' court, to pay two 50-pound bonds to ensure good behavior, and to stay in the county where they registered.

  There were no such limits placed on Protestant priests.

Shall I check out the other Acts that you listed?

 

[Roy Bloom]

Popery Act 1704 and 1709

What is your point .

Another one in your list designed to supress Catholics.
You claimed it was designed to limit Protestants.

An Act to prevent the further Growth of Popery (2 Anne, c.6; commonly known as the Popery Act or the Gavelkind Act)[2] was an Act of the Parliament of Ireland that was passed in 1704 designed to suppress Roman Catholicism in Ireland ("Popery"). William Edward Hartpole Lecky called it the most notorious of the Irish Penal Laws.[3]

[Roy Bloom]

it is only British who are bickering over what the so called Protocol represents.

So why are DUP refusing to participate in the Assembly?

Due to the N.I protocol.

Sort yourself out, Vinty.

And what about the voters who did not and are now by default disenfranchised? You keep missing the point and Vinty tries really hard to show you but you don't want to or can't see.

It's exactly the same for everybody who doesn't vote for or agree with their own MP.

Only the majority get who they want, which isn't always what they want anyway.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

What Irish are you referring to.

Who was in Ireland 1st ?

Irish, Irish.

It gets more complicated now because of the immigrants. But you were trying to teach us history and missed out the very basic bit

 

[JohnD]

And what about the voters who did not and are now by default disenfranchised?

People who are not anti-EU?

You are going off on a tangent again.
I said that the Penal laws were applied to Ulster Presbyterians and Roman Catholics all of which is true.
You have cherry picked a single Act from the legislation to make some unknown point.

 

[Vinty]

Sort yourself out, Vinty.

You need to sort yourself out and stop trolling.
There is no contradiction in the points I made about the EU and the Irish government .
The N.I. Protocol has caused disruption and the collapse of government in N.I.
Meanwhile the Irish carry on as usual with no restrictions on their access to N.I. or GB.

 

[Vinty]

Who was in Ireland first.

The Leprechauns.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

The Leprechauns.

So you are getting the history bit

 

[Vinty]

So if Ireland was Irish originally, who decided there should be a separate Northern Ireland ?

If Britain was British originally,who decided that there should be a separate Scotland and Wales?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

If Britain was British originally,who decided that there should be a separate Scotland and Wales?

The Scottish and the Welsh

Who decided there was a Britain 1st? Wasn't how I was taught history

 

[Vinty]

The Scottish and the Welsh

Who decided there was a Britain 1st? Wasn't how I was taught history

Who decided there was an Ireland first?
Who decided on the name Irish?
The British name for the Irish was Gael.
The Roman name for them was Scotti.
The Irish themselves referred to the people of Ulster as 'Cruthin' which is the Gaelic name for the Picts who inhabited the land at that time.

So it can't be buiness as usual if the Assembly is not functioning?

Diverting from Sinn Fein now?

But the real point is, why was Northern Ireland "created" ? To please the Irish or the immigrants ?
