Has the United Kingdom any right to be involved in the Affairs of the Irish Nation?

Question

In view of the recent findings that the U.K. Forces were involved in the murder of innocent people in the Republic in the recent troubles. They assisted members of the security forces in the North, in planting bombs in the Republic. Yet the British Government will not assist in any inquiry set up to find the Truth.

Answer 1

No, it really doesn't. Look how brutal the British have been to the Irish historically.

Answer 2

Not the south - that was agreed a long time ago. 6 counties in the North are part of the UK so obviously they are governed by the British government and many people in those counties are satisfied with this arrangement. As was said before, this is a situation with a long history and is not as black and white as the UK having the right to involve themselves in the North or not.

Answer 3

No, of course not. Ireland is an independent republic and always will be. No other nation will rob us of our freedom again. Hopefully I will live to see the day the nation will be re-united & 100% free. Until then heres hoping the peace lasts for good & that the Peace Process democratically endorsed North & South is implemented.

Answer 4

The British Isles. U.K. Is Ireland no longer part of that group? I am Welsh, but must accept an English Prime Minister. We are a Nation. Even our Prince is English, and our Queen. So i would say the answer is yes

Answer 5

Human settlement in Ireland began around 8000 BC, when the island's first inhabitants arrived from Britain and continental Europe, possibly via a land bridge. Few archaeological traces of these earliest hunter-gatherers remain, but their descendants and later arrivals were responsible for major Neolithic sites such as Newgrange. Following the arrival of St Patrick and other Christian missionaries in the early to mid-fifth century, a syncretised form of Christianity subsumed the indigenous pagan religion by 600 AD. Christianity has played a major role in Ireland's history and culture.

From around 800, more than a century of Viking invasions wreaked havoc upon the monastic culture and on the island's various regional dynasties, yet both of these institutions proved strong enough to survive and assimilate the invaders.

The coming of Cambro-Norman mercenaries under Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, nicknamed Strongbow, in 1169 marked the beginning of more than 800 years of direct English involvement in Ireland. The English crown did not begin asserting full control of the island until after the English Reformation, when questions over the loyalty of Irish vassals provided the initial impetus for a series of military campaigns between 1534 and 1691. This period was also marked by an official English policy of plantation which led to the arrival of thousands of English and Scottish Protestant settlers. From this period on, sectarian conflict became a recurrent theme in Irish history.

Throughout this period, Ireland regained a form of self-governing status through the Parliament of Ireland, but power was limited to the Anglo-Irish, Anglican minority while the majority Roman Catholic population suffered severe political and economic privations. In 1801, this parliament was abolished and Ireland became an integral part of a new United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland under the Act of Union.

In 1922, after the Irish War of Independence, the southern and western twenty-six counties of Ireland seceded from this United Kingdom and became the independent Irish Free State — now legally described as the 'Republic of Ireland'. The remainder of the island, known as 'Northern Ireland', remained part of the UK.

The United Kingdom's affairs of the Irish Nation, run a lot deeper than i think you realise!

Answer 6

I take by "Nation" you are referring to the whole of Ireland, including the six "British" counties, if so, then of course the British Government have a say in the running of those counties. It would be preferable if the politicians in Northern Ireland would stop their bickering and try to get along, so that there wouldn't be a need for any involvement by any government, British, or American for that matter.

Answer 7

No, it has not and it never had. Of course the British Government never concerns itself about the rights and wrongs of things when it comes to invading other countries. Ireland was just a little patch minding it's own business. It didn't need and didn't want British invasion. And it had a RIGHT to feel like that - a right that wasn't respected by the British Government.

Answer 8

About as much as the Irish have for voting here so if you don't like it ,give up your rights to vote in England. Northern Ireland, as far as I am aware, has voted to be part of UK and most of people living there want nothing to do with the south unless they are roman catholic.
If you refer to Southern Ireland then the UK doesn't get involved unless of course they are working with Nazis as in the second world war.

Answer 9

ok seeing how i'm in a international kinfolk classification and characteristic been to the United countries two times now and been with the help of numerous conferences and lectures held there for U.S. Counter terrorism , Human trafficking , Libya , The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So almost each and every us of a is represented contained in the United countries subsequently its call the United countries and moves are absolutely taken with the help of the United countries if deemed mandatory to guard the people of that us of a or for another moral reason and in simple terms result.
