    You are not correct.

    I disagree.

    In 1653 Cromwell gave the northwest free people.
    He would have given you canals, railways, motorways but they weren't invented then.

    What do you mean? Are there old bridges in Donegal built by Cromwell, if so which ones? The free people bit also needs some explaining.

    That may actually be the motive. They might be trying to turn the place into a national park.

    Genocide and population growth can co-exist so no I am not wrong, you are.
    No Ireland is not committing genocide.
    Lack of investment, destruction of rural infrastructure is happening, but not genocide.
    No genocide and a decrease in population can co-exist.

    Letterkenny has pramerica, optum, zeus and sita to name but a few multinational companies situated there. Pramerica alone has 1500 employees, majoriry of which live all over donegal and commute or wfh daily.
    More can be done, definitely, to de-centralize jobs and opportunities from dublin and leinster, but dont pain tit to be some barren economic wasteland when thats far from the truth

    There are train stations in Boyle, Castlerea, Roscommon town and Carrick on Shannon (Roscommon side). Train station a mile of so from river Shannon in Athlone and one a mile or 2 from Roscommon border in Ballinasloe.

    M6 runs through Roscommon from Ballinasloe to Athlone.

    From yesterday's paper:
    Quote:
    Councillors' sadness at large number of young people leaving Donegal
    RETURNING EMIGRANTS FACE HUGE DIFFICULTIES ACCORDING TO COUNCILLORS

    Councillors from the Glenties Municipal District have expressed their concern at the number of young people who have left their communities during the first two weeks in January.

    The issue came to the fore during a discussion on ‘Returning Emigrants’ which was placed on the Municipal District Agenda by Sinn Féin Councillor Marie Therese Gallagher.

    Cllr Gallagher said: “It is unbelievable the number of people who have left west Donegal in the past month. It’s frightening,” she said.

    Quote:
    A Donegal TD is warning that small businesses will close and rural areas will be empty if the government doesn’t step in.

    Deputy Thomas Pringle was speaking in the Dail where he challenged the Taoiseach to outline his plan to curb depopulation and increase local trade.

    A recent survey conducted by Deputy Pringle revealed local businesses in Donegal are concerned about depopulation and the threatened closures of garda stations and post offices.

    Deputy Pringle says unless the government deals with the issue, things will get worse

    On the subject of immigration, especially into rural Ireland, 20 years ago I had a drink with 3 guys in a pub in the NW. 2 were from Algeria and the other guy was an Iraqi. The Algerians were fleeing the civil war, which by then had claimed 90,000 lives. They thought Irelandf was quiet and the people were nice to them, but there was nothing to do.

    I saw a video made recently on youtube where a group of migrants were interviewed in a hotel lobby in Balahidreen. They all said the same thing, there was nothing to do.

    Once upon a time, Ireland was densely populated. Then we had the famine and the population in rural Ireland has been declining ever sinse...

    The real issue is the incorrect spelling of the word since in the first line of opening post.
    Until this has been dealt with the spurious claim of genocide cannot be addressed in any meaningful way.

    Evidence for deliberate depopulation in Ireland? (Not that you would ever provide any)

    What you describe is not genocide, The Nazis killing 6 million jews, that was genocide.
    Presumably the word was inserted into the OP to catch people's attention. If so, it's an unfortunate choice - and has detracted from the topic the op wants to discuss. Just finished an account of Mathausen by a survivor. Hard reading.

    The hidden Culchie genocide is it? Alas one sniff of city living and they're away to run the government or become a landlord, pub or housing ;)
    I worked with a lad who owned a farm. It should be noted, I've never worked on a farm. He had a lad he paid to manage it while he worked in another field ;) in Dublin. He'd often get text alerts from others regarding the Garda dipping fuel from cars and that.

    Once upon a time, Ireland was densely populated. Then we had the famine and the population in rural Ireland has been declining ever sinse.

    Not to hard to find population statistics if you go looking.

    Here is the population of the territory now comprising the Irish Republic from censuses taken over the last 175 years.

    Year Population (in millions rounded to one decimal place)
    1841 6.5
    1851 5.1
    1861 4.4
    1871 4.1
    1881 3.9
    1891 3.5
    1901 3.2
    1911 3.1
    1926 3.0
    1936 3.0
    1946 3.0
    1951 3.0
    1956 2.9
    1961 2.8
    1966 2.9
    1971 3.0
    1981 3.4
    1986 3.5
    1991 3.5
    1996 3.6
    2002 3.9
    2006 4.2
    2011 4.6
    2016 4.8
    (Source www.cso.ie Central Statistics Office)

    So although still nowhere near where it was in 1841, the population of the country as a whole has grown by nearly 70% in 55 years between 1961 and 2016.

    Genocide, you say? :confused::confused:

    The sheeple dont know or care to look at, the definition of genocide as laid out by the United Nations. It does not include only deliberate killing of the group. See parts a to e. Due to white guilt brainwash many dont consider a genocide of white people a crime at all. If there is a report of a genocide, real or propaganda, on the other side of the world, their is a false moral outcry backed up by the mainstream media, no doubt

    D. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group - abortion was fully endorsed by mainstream media in European countries and USA, the countries where white ppl live.
    C. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about it's destruction in whole OR IN PART - by higher birth rates of other races (Muslims obviously) and lack of abortions and constant immigration, whites must become a minority group and they do not even live in majority Muslim areas.Whites even move out from black areas in USA. See "white flight", do you not believe this happened?! Look into it. There will be large areas where white people will move out from and already have in USA, Britian and Germany, for example. There is also the fact that interracial couples cannot have children who are whites and a percentage of the population will cross racial boundaries, who are mixed and may be some shade of brown or look asian etc. It eventually DESTROYS all the races after many generations. Humanity becomes a mixed brown colour. That is not fiction and that is also a crime. Every race is important

    Once upon a time, Ireland was densely populated. Then we had the famine and the population in rural Ireland has been declining ever sinse. The reason for this decline is lack of investment. There are no rail services, motorways, broadband or gas pipelines providing subsidized gas to industry in Roscommon or Donegal. The electricty grid is inadequate for large scale industrialization, so is the institutional support necessary to cater for new industry. Because there is no investment in infrastructure in the north west, there is no infrasturcture in the north west. There is no adequate national planning and zoning for rural areas. This inadequacy seems to be a deliberate policy to provide corrupt officials with opportunities in exploitation.

    Consequently there is nothing in the north west to recommend it to IDA backed companies for example. So the north west does not get promoted and it does not get big companies setting up, bringing thousands of jobs in direct employment and thousands more providing spin off support services to multinationals and their workforces. These worforces could be made up of thousands upon thousands of Donegal and Roscommon returning emigrants and their new familes.

    Instead, Donegal and Roscommon get nothing but the sadness of seeing the last of their loved ones leave and the last village shop close its doors. This is genocide and replacing Donegal and Roscommon people with economic migrants from places other than Donegal and Roscommon in former hotels does not alter this fact.

    Am I not correct?

    I wonder if there is a Brics version of amnesty international to report this genocide to.

    Drive through rural France or Germany and you’ll see it’s the standard development of western countries.
    I’m from amd live in rural Ireland, for years I thought as you that more and more
    Money should be poured in, but truth is it should just be let develop. Agriculture requires less labour, industry needs workers and they will be found in urban areas so it makes sense to base industrial areas there.

    Donegal and Roscommon need to develop more tourist centric infrastructure.

    Look at the crowd in Croke Park whenever Donegal or Roscommon are playing. You won't find much evidence for any of that.

    Palestine? There is a genocide ongoing for decades there. As for Africa, they are always at war with one another not helped by constant western aid creating a surge in birthrates, and, hence, population. Tensions happen due to the rising poverty and over crowding that our aid has actually contributed to!

    I was beginning to wonder if Leitrim was real until your last line. Now I know it's not and the the river drowse stops just outside bundoran and picks up across the border and that the 4 masters is just a story.

    No law abiding person would condone illegal activity. We would condemn bad government which spawns both rural and urban crime.

    hi Reality Keeper, my point is that it seems absurd to me that many young people are emigrating from the NW region because they have no opportunities, meanwhile thousands of (and I hate the expression) 'economic migrants' are replacing them only to find that things in the NW are very quiet, and many of them find themselves going from day to day with little or nothing to do.

    *you did mention migrants in your OP
    This is genocide and replacing Donegal and Roscommon people with economic migrants from places other than Donegal and Roscommon in former hotels does not alter this fact.

    Well said sir!

    Another point. Genocide (according to British methodology) includes children who were never born because they were never conceived because their parents were killed in the genocide. This is how they came up with the ten million figure for the Belgian genocide in the Congo in the late 19th century. Not sure if the Brits would tabulate their own attrocities using the same methods.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭realitykeeper


    Look at the crowd in Croke Park whenever Donegal or Roscommon are playing. You won't find much evidence for any of that.

    Donegal born fans (and their children) live in lots of places and not just in Donegal because the investment was not made to create the infrastructure needed to support more industry/jobs in Donegal.
