I can understand you tried to fuck up Spain, France or Germany, but how could you be able to do THIS to your own brothers and neightbours?
it was just banter that got out of hand
This is why Ireland never forgive England

>Records show that Irish lands exported food even during the worst years of the Famine.
>In 1845, Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid declared his intention to send £10,000 to victims of the Irish potato famine, but Queen Victoria requested that the Sultan send only £1,000, because she herself had sent only £2,000. The Sultan sent £1,000 along with five ships full of food. The British administration allegedly attempted to block the ships.
>Charles Trevelyan, the civil servant with most direct responsibility for the government's handling of the famine, described it in 1848 as "a direct stroke of an all-wise and all-merciful Providence", which laid bare "the deep and inveterate root of social evil"; he affirmed that the Famine was "the sharp but effectual remedy by which the cure is likely to be effected. God grant that the generation to which this opportunity has been offered may rightly perform its part.

>The reader can quickly recognise that few of the family names were Gaelic Irish or 'Old English' in origin. This is evidence of the legacy of the Cromwellian and Williamite wars of the 17th century which saw Catholics losing their confiscated lands to English, Scottish and Welsh Protestant families. The overwhelming majority of Catholics were tenant farmers or landless peasants on the estates of these Anglo-Irish Protestant families. Most of these Catholic tenants especially in remote western regions were desperately poor and survived on a basic diet of potatoes.
Most native Irish were disenfranchised people and most of the land they worked was for food produce for the British market. They were afforded small plots of poor quality land for their own subsistence, land on which potatoes were by far the most successful crop.

>In the headlong flight of thousands of British militia, large quantities of guns and equipment were abandoned, among which was General Lake's personal luggage. Although not pursued a mile or two beyond Castlebar, the British did not stop until reaching Tuam, with some units fleeing as far as Athlone in the panic. The panic was such that only the arrival of Cornwallis at Athlone prevented further flight across the Shannon.

Ireland and Britain.
The closest you will get is "our islands", whenever an Irish Head of State is meeting with the British.
Ireland is not and never will be British, that is the union between Scotland and England. Not even when we were part of the Union, were we considered part of Great Britain (hence "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" as the official name).

Continentals like to think of us as the same because we speak English and all that, but a lot of that is an after effect in the famine. The people worst affected by the famine were mainly Catholic and Gaelic Irish who often had a poor grasp of English and definitely weren't "brothers" to the British establishment. The famine is often cited as a key event in the destruction of Irish as a common language in Ireland, with another significant event being the previous destruction of the native (Gaelic) aristocracy.

The governments treat is as a constitutional obligation that they don't really care about, due to their being more immediate issues to deal with it. The fact is a strong Irish language policy means batting heads with stubborn civil servants and won't win you many votes compared to other issues.
