    Fear not! our glorious leader and his party have proposed a new plan called Project Ireland 2040 whereby they plan to increase the population of the country by a million people by immigration etc in order to increase the tax base. More peasants - more money. Win!

    There is a terrible truth about Ireland 2040. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkl1xGTt9Sw

    He gave you an example as you clearly can't tell the difference between genocide and migration.

    Not at all. I was wondering if you were racist.

    You talk about the depopulation of areas like Roscommon as being genocide, but Roscommon's population is growing so I'm confused.

    Or is it that you are not a racist, you're just wrong?

    Genocide and population growth can co-exist so no I am not wrong, you are.

    Not when you’ve based your claims of genocide on the fact that the population is declining.

    Jeez, it just gets worse! What drivel is this?

    You started with an absurd OP and regressed to bizarre and farcical.

    You're likening the emigration of a few young people from small towns to the deliberate murder of 6 million people by using the word genocide.

    I made no such comparison. If I point out that a grain of sand has particular dimensions, it does not follow that I am comparing it with the universe which also happens to have particular dimensions of it`s own.

    A two hour plus youtube video! Skipping straight to the comments imagine my surprise to find many many of them referring to "white genocide", "race traitors" etc and even a few swastikas.

    BS. Genocide is genocide. You used the term quite clearly and distinctly. Just admit you either used the wrong word or over exaggerated the situation.

    That may actually be the motive. They might be trying to turn the place into a national park.

    In 1653 Cromwell gave the northwest free people.
    He would have given you canals, railways, motorways but they weren't invented then.

    What do you mean? Are there old bridges in Donegal built by Cromwell, if so which ones? The free people bit also needs some explaining.

    No Ireland is not committing genocide.
    Lack of investment, destruction of rural infrastructure is happening, but not genocide.
    No genocide and a decrease in population can co-exist.

    Letterkenny has pramerica, optum, zeus and sita to name but a few multinational companies situated there. Pramerica alone has 1500 employees, majoriry of which live all over donegal and commute or wfh daily.
    More can be done, definitely, to de-centralize jobs and opportunities from dublin and leinster, but dont pain tit to be some barren economic wasteland when thats far from the truth

    There are train stations in Boyle, Castlerea, Roscommon town and Carrick on Shannon (Roscommon side). Train station a mile of so from river Shannon in Athlone and one a mile or 2 from Roscommon border in Ballinasloe.

    M6 runs through Roscommon from Ballinasloe to Athlone.
