Here is an IM I got from Russ in Irish Abroad:
At least READ what I post...FFS, I SAID, "the starving Irish Catholics and other tenant farmers." Who the feck do you think are the, "other tenant farmers?"

My Reply:
I don't see any reason to specifically mention Irish Catholics. I'm sure I'd have equally pointed out the same if another poster had specifically mentioned "starving Irish Protestants".
