It would be good if someone added more about the relationship between the poor and their lords. It could also help to mention Swift's Modest Proposal (1729) and how it ties in with the state of Irish poverty at that time. This page currently goes into little detail about the extent of poverty in the 1700s and how it was caused.

Grattan's Parliament

There appears to be a mini edit war going on over this edit, but in fact the sentence - with or without the qualification - doesn't make any sense to me. This is how it reads in the stable version:

Many Irish Protestant liberals were sympathetic to the French Revolution of 1789, which appeared to show that Roman Catholics were not adverse to "liberty" as the Whig ideology of the Glorious Revolution had long claimed.

Perhaps a re-write, with citations, would be a better idea than disputing the addition of unsourced content to an unsourced statement. Scolaire (talk) 08:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Grattan was deeply opposed to the French Revolution and was a political disciple of Burke, not of the French leaders. I'm sorry but this is common knowledge, the edit was reverted by a prominent troll who is stalking me. 86.40.96.88 (talk) 09:56, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages does not work on 'common knowledge', only on reliable citations. See WP:VERIFY. --Red King (talk) 12:00, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I have reverted the edit back again. I feel I have answered the criticisms and established that Hohlenhoh is stalking me for perverse reasons, reasons he hasn't accounted for. I don't understand why these republicans are in conspiracy against me.
