Genocide is a term used to describe violence against members of a national, ethnic, racial or religious group with the intent to destroy the entire group.

The reason for this decline is lack of investment. There are no rail services, motorways, broadband or gas pipelines providing subsidized gas to industry in Roscommon or Donegal. The electricty grid is inadequate for large scale industrialization, so is the institutional support necessary to cater for new industry. Because there is no investment in infrastructure in the north west, there is no infrasturcture in the north west. There is no adequate national planning and zoning for rural areas. This inadequacy seems to be a deliberate policy to provide corrupt officials with opportunities in exploitation. Consequently there is nothing in the north west to recommend it to IDA backed companies for example. So the north west does not get promoted and it does not get big companies setting up, bringing thousands of jobs in direct employment and thousands more providing spin off support servives to multinationals and their workforces. These worforces could be made up of thousands upon thousands of Donegal and Roscommon returning emigrants and their new familes. Instead, Donegal and Roscommon get nothing but the sadness of seeing the last of their loved ones leave and the last village shop close its doors. This is genocide and replacing Donegal and Roscommon people with economic migrants from places other than Donegal and Roscommon in former hotels does not alter this fact. Am I not correct? I wonder if there is a Brics version of amnesty international to report this genocide to.

realitykeeper wrote: » Where were you when the so called "survivors" of institutional care were pretending to be victims of genocide? To claim that a policy of deliberate depopulation with all the sorrow, suffering and yes death, that entails is anything other than a blatant act of genocide is disingenuous to put it mildly.
