it is not difficult to find enemies and allies within a conflict itself. For us here, out of the Irish situation, we can only observe and try to assess on the basis of fairness who is more "right" than the other.
A law which would prevent property being inherited by a Catholic wife of a deceased Protestant man should make us all feel grieved for her sake.
Such a law, would go back to the outcome of Cromwellian battles, where the 'Rule of England' was decisivly established, but I doubt Cromwell himself would have supported such a law, more likely from opportunistic nominal Anglican absentee landowners. (land which they received as a result of oppression and dispossession of the Irish)
Most fair minded people know a duck when they see one.. u know..quack_feathers etc. So, laws which afflict people unfairly are easily identifiable.
Such a law would be the prevention of Aboriginal people in Australia from voting. Or.. laws which push them around from this place to that for the sake of 'mining' or development or some other 'white blokes' master plan.
I hope this answers the key question.
