[edit] Irish slavery
You should get your facts right because africans were never enslaved by the Irish, maybe by the British, but not by the Irish. British and Irish are two separate ethnicities and nationalities so don't confuse the two when you're talking of the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.74.148.2 (talk) 06:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Very little on people been enslaved by the Irish; they were to the British Isles in the Dark Ages what the Vikings would be hundreds of years later. Only with the advent of Christianity did slavery come to an end among the Irish, though the Norse cities of Ireland would remain slave markets till well into the 12th century. Just some food for thought. Fergananim 18:46, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
