You claim to have highlighted errors in my post. Yet, you offer no explanation as to why they are incorrect.
For example the Irish war of independence was ended in 1921 a firm indication of recognised independace, so how was my statement incorrect?

Ireland /Eire was not independent untill 1948!!!

To take one of the other examples, you deny that the late 19th century and 20th century was marked, on occasion by large scale emigration from Wales? If so I can assure you that you are wrong.

I've read and re-read and cannot find any reference to Wales by me. Could you please explain how I could deny whatever.

Well done, you pointed out an error in my maths, way to go ignoring the point.
As for your quotes, they do not contradict anything I said or any of the points I raised. Creating a straw man argument does not cut it with me, try again.

I will get back to you. The Middle East is more interesting at the moment. Could you explain "a straw man argument".
Population growth brings challenges
Thu, Jul 20, 2006 Quote:
Preliminary census figures paint a picture of Irish society undergoing a dramatic transformation. Inward migration, coupled with a natural increase, has pushed the population beyond the four million mark for the first time in more than a century, bringing with it all the benefits and problems that such rapid growth entails. The cost of extraordinary economic expansion, involving long-term planning and social implications, will now have to be comprehensively addressed.
We have all basked in the glow of an economy growing by 5 per cent a year; increasing wealth and income levels; burgeoning exchequer returns and historically low employment levels.
The task before us, while economic growth remains strong and racial tension is limited, is to develop structures that will underpin and promulgate the ideals of a republic.

Preliminary census figures are 4.2 millions
