Message: i suppose one never has to mention those "Taigs" but seeing as how it was a majority of them living at the time who either died or emmigrated, I think they deserve a mention whenever you're discussing An Gorta Mor. |
My reply:
Taig can be regarded as quite offensive Russ. I've no idea why you should use that name in personal corresponance with me.
As for Catholics being the majority of those who died... well that would be quite logical, considering that Ireland's population at that time was something in the region of 80% Roman Catholic. The rest were, to reflect your own parlance, "Huns."
I don't think they deserve any less of a mention.
