So, by the same logic, nobody within the USA who is [largely] of Native American ancestry should feel any loyalty to the USA?
If America still had very large number of people with Native American ancestry they might be just rebellious.

If the English had carried concerted efforts to wipe out the Irish by conducting soft or hard genocide, in the same manner as the Japan did with the Ainu on Hokkaido, then they'd have been able to do it easily- especially when you bear in mind that they (if we include the Normans) have at least 700 years longer to wipe out the Irish culture and way of life than the Japanese have needed to drive the Ainu to the verge of extinction. All you need to do is to change the Charter of Kilkenny, requiring Irish subjects as well as English subjects to speak English, follow English customs and abide by English law (instead of just applying the charter to English subjects as IOTL), and by the time you get to the Tudor conquest of Ireland, the Irish people are going to be just as assimilated as the Cornish people. So, easy fix- Just take the Cornish example, transplant it on Ireland, job done. Simples...
What happens if, for some reason, the cultivation of potatoes doesn't get spread into Ireland?
At the same time I'm absolutely certain material concessions on brutal a part would mollify them a lot. Home rule Alone would probably mollify them.Call me crazy,but its..
Nigh Impossible.
Yes.
The Irishmen are fiercely nationalistic,and no laws could stop them.

Way too little to late. I grant you that it would buy time At a guess the reaction to the high loss of live in ww1 would discredit the Home Rulers

Just wondering, what would have happened if an Irish Sea tunnel had been constructed when the concept was first proposed in 1890? Could it have helped to tone down Irish nationalism, facilitating greater unification with the rest of Great Britain than IOTL?

Then post World War I the English follow through on promises of home rule, that way the high losses in World War I have a purpose and serve to help the Irish calm tensions.
