No need to do that. Just look at the names of runners from Jamaica in the 100m races. E.g. 2012 Olympics: 1st: Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce; 3rd: Veronica Campbell-Brown.

Big Yen, so called "Irish" slave owners were few and were not rewarded as "Irish" in Ireland but British. They were Unionists and part of the British take-over class in Ireland. Most came from Britain or their ancestors came from Britain and almost all were protestant, anglicized pro-British. I am sure such people existed in every country Britain colonized. Those who rebelled against British rule in Ireland were actually some of the first slaves brought to the Caribbean.

Britain ruled Jamaica for more than 300 years, forcing hundreds of thousands of African slaves to toil the land under brutal conditions. Jamaica gained its independence in August 1962 but remained within the British commonwealth.
Best of luck to Jamaica.

Nobody outside Jamaica really cares what they do, truth be told.

The rich will care when they need a visa, the poor won’t because they probably have family there.
