"“England’s Kings and Queens had a troubled past in Ireland.”"
I LOLed.
It sounds very reminiscent of that series I watched about the history of the English language, in which the BBC narrator had to periodically digress into talking smack about the French.
"The land was also used by the native Irish population. who herded cattle and moved with the seasons."
You know, I live in a part of the world where the indigenous people engaged in a seasonal round of subsistence activities (and, indeed, still do, if the man I saw walking up the main road in Bandon on Monday, carrying a forty-pound salmon, is any indication) but I was under the impression -- do correct me if I am mistaken -- that the IRISH had been sedentary for some years now.
