Please move this to another site if appropriate. I didn't find anything in the search engine. Thanks

This is TERRIBLE, look at what's being done to beautiful Ireland! I wonder if there are other sites like this or something similar. It's for a migrant planation which means slave labor and growing some sort of GMO "food". This really shows a total lack of humanity. An alien species is moving in, really.

 
It's an act of great violence against the earth, the fountainhead of a whole past, of a whole experience, against traditions and history, against the humans of the present and those of the past. We know that their aim is to destroy everything, and prevent humanity from living and evolving. One day the gods will get angry, as Laura says in one of her reflections, but when my sweet lord? Of course, the gods also decide when it's time, and give us time for us to see and understand all this and feel the pain, that is the way to evolve. Ah, if Sir Tolkien could see all of this...

They steal and destroy the land of the natives to give it to others... doesn't that remind you of something?
 
Its been going on for a longtime- and obviously touches the nerve of Irish folk.

meaning of plantation/plantations in context of Irish history

The plantations is the name given to the English efforts from the 1500s to colonise Ireland through settlement. This meant that English rulers gave English and Scottish people land in Ireland that they could use for themsleves. Then the King would have loyal subjects in Ireland that he could trust more than the native Irish. Although plantations took place throughout Ireland, the largest one happened in Ulster. This was because Ulster rebelled very strongly against English rule and was difficult to control.

The problem with the plantations was that many native Irish people had their lands taken away to make room for the settlers. Naturally, they felt a sense of injustice against the colonisers. This policy sowed the seeds for the troubles over the ownership of the land of Ireland, which have only begun to be settled properly in the last twenty years.

The land around Finn Valley was very rich, so Stranorlar was chosen as an important town in the Plantation of Ulster in the seventeenth century.
