Irish travellers were Celts who never lost their nomadic traditions while most Celts did. Although more people became travellers through the centuries during times of upheaval.
To be honest, that wasnt intentional. Its something whole heartedly agree with you on but I was just trying to put the focus on their history specifically. I'll make another about the genicide. But fair point and I am Irish!
It's funny because most British, even today, can't seem to face the facts of this part of their history, not just, what they did in Ireland, but worldwide, as well.
@@BrighaMedia It was the unjust discrimination against Catholics that was mainly responsible for the tragedy of the potatoe famine and the many avoidable deaths from starvation.
You coming to take away all the paddies in Arlington house? I agree with you completely about imperialism. I'm pretty sure though that Cromwell and invasion was mentioned and not just a wee bit of hunger!
The Irish famine... 90% of the population were disinherited farmers with allotments... when the potatoes failed there was nothing for the populace to eat... wheat, grain etc was the landlords... hare rabbits and other game were the landlords..g re. fishing required boats and nets for the sea, and in the rivers was the landlords... Ireland exported food - meat, grain and vegetables to England at the height of the famine... the Brits decided that all charity programmes should involve families moving to poor houses, where men women and children were seperated, and that work programmes should be followed... we still have famine walls, and "military" roads built by the people who took this option - we call certain people soupers... they took soup from the baptists and other Protestant minorities in return for food.... hence "soupers"
Travellers were around before any English invasion. Ireland is a multicultural society today and part of Europe, or a dumping ground from across the globe, all welcome. 🇮🇪👍
The Shelby Family is a small and wealthy family originating in Birmingham, England, Irish on their father's side and Romany-Gypsy on their mother's side. The lee family are Irish traveller side
@ How is Shelta not the name of our language? I said nothing definitive about our origin, just suggestions which are debate amongst which families you ask. Also where am I wrong about our customs or traditions? Not having a go I am genuinely intrigued about how you've found this to be factually incorrect.
Irish catholicism is not Roman Catholicism... it is an earlier Catholicism... the Roman church never did Ireland any favours and the interference of the Catholic Church in the 11th/12th centuries led to the Norman and later Anglo conquest of the Irish church... I believe to the detriment of the Catholic church as a whole...
It pre-dates the formalized, Catholic Church, doesn't it? Being of Protestant stock myself, for several generations now, this part always, gives me mixed feelings, as I have a lot of issues with the history and practices of the Catholic Church. So, why not call it simply, the Irish Church then, and drop the Catholic part, altogether?

Must be a British documentary to only mention the potato blight causibg starvation, without mentioning genocidal english imperialism.

Stop moaning and take that chip of your shoulder , that’s all you ever do.

Most of this clip is factually incorrect

@BrighaMedia the origin of travellers, the name of the language and customs traditions and ways
It's a nice piece but not well enough researched
