Fascinating how, when it suits their current political point, someone would see colonisation and mass migration as equivalent terms

@hbdchick I read that with the plantations the English couldn't actually be persuaded to settle en masse though obviously the Scots did move -
@hbdchick though apparently there was significant English settlement to Eastern Ireland in the earlier Middle Ages. Does this ring true? -
@declamare i think there were a lot of anglo women settling in ireland in the 18th and 19th C's, too. i mean as many as the men. -
@hbdchick what was the driver of this migration? I thought (wrongly) that Ireland had almost exclusively experienced outward migration. -
@hbdchick (Scots Irish plus few Vikings excepted)
