You are both missing (evading ?) the point.
David Flood suggested that insulting the British monarch was a dangerous thing in 19th century Ireland.
But *was* it ?
Irish are not noted for bright ideas. Just fantasies hatched over a pint of suds.
That's pretty strange, considering Ireland has produced some of the finest writers in the English language; including (but not limited to) Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, Jonathan Swift and George Bernard Shaw.
Still a bunch of headers, most of them...
