Yes, I should have been more clear. Sorry.

Correct. And the bit that he rented was too small to provide him anything like a decent living.
Quote:If he worked on someone elses land for a wage then why on earth would he be entitled to the produce?
He wouldn't be. I was correcting a mistake you made.
Quote:If he was so poor then why did he have 8 fucking children? Blame the fucking Catholic church for the chronic overpopulation of Ireland.
I do. But for the policies which led to the starvation, disease and emigration that reduced Ireland's population by (at least) 25% in just 10 years, I blame the British.
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but why are you refusing to answer this question:
Do you have a source for the misappropriation of relief funds by the Church?
Boru
Do I have a source immediately to hand -no but I'm traveling and not near my bookshelves.
By 'The British' do you mean the then government of Great Britain and Ireland or are you blaming British people generally like some demented Boston Irish American
How is the UK government responsible for people pumping out 8 kids on such a tiny patch of land?
Irelands population was over half that of England and Wales, it was massively over populated because of ridiculous practices of having vastly too many children. That is the ultimate source of the famine. Straightforward overpopulation.
