What sort of Irish do you want to be? The modern Irish, whose identity is that of a papist Marxist with a hatred of the British and Protestantism? Or an Irishman such as in the time of Patrick, member of the native, non Romanist, Celtic church?

Such a momentous event in Irish history. Reshaped the Islands on the edge of Europe that ultimately created a system of life that spread throughout the world

I enjoyed this, Thank you for posting. I was going to say that these histories sometimes give a tunneled vision version of events focusing too much on the invaders and leaving out what was going on in the native world. However, he did touch on it here and there and at the end. He even goes so far to say the Normans never conquered which is interesting. I wonder if some would disagree but I like that he raises the issue.

Given that England had to attack Ireland again in 1529, I would agree.

Fun fact - supposedly the BBC elected to use Roman numerals so that the average viewer wouldn't realise he was watching old repeats

Was interested to learn that the Normans built a stronghold in Limavady. Does any remnant of the building survive? It sees to be a bit of a departure from the practice of only building on the coasts to allow re-supply by sea. Limavady is several miles inland.

Around the time of Queen Meadbh +/- 50 bc/ad Ireland had the most impressive & progressive laws than anywhere else in Europe even better than todays standards. For example equal rights for men & women. Instead of capital punishment, if any person committed murder they would have to pay by ways of compensation all their land, cattle & properties. The very same for lesser crimes, if a person had wronged you & yours somehow they too would have to pay accordingly to damage done upon you. Sadly these got diluted and lost throughout time.
