Your reference was the source of that exact quote, so while some Irish wanna-be might not agree with his own reference it doesn't make the Irish wanna-be correct. http://www.rte.ie/culture/millennia/history/0900.html "Before Henry VIII came to power in 1509 the English had LITTLE INFLUENCE over Ireland." |
