I mean you’re talking about settlers from the early 1500s with the repossession of lands taking place 1605-1610 with the first big rebellion in 1641 when Ireland truly lost its power over immigration.
It’s further complicated by the Penal Laws of the early 1700s. If your family was (natively) Irish 300 years ago and stayed in Ireland but converted from Catholicism to Protestants, are you colonizers or not?
Hence why politicians have not been able to unstick the mess for hundreds of years
It’s quite hard to distinguish who is “living on stolen land”

I realize I am on thin ice saying this as an Englishman, but I mean it dispassionately - in every poll the plurality of Northern Irish people want to remain in the UK and the Good Friday Agreement states that if the majority ever want a United Ireland then the Secretary of State has to call a binding referendum.

per Wikipedia:
in Old English, ⟨ð⟩ was used interchangeably with ⟨þ⟩ to represent the Old English dental fricative phoneme /θ/ or its allophone [ð], which exist in modern English as the voiceless and voiced dental fricatives both now spelled ⟨th⟩.

Who do you give it back to? Under whose authority? The UK didn’t exist in 1501. Even Wales was it’s own country at this point.
Britain, The British parliament and the British crown were distant concepts hundreds of years in the future.
Half the original Protestant order would’ve preferred to be ruled by Holland than England and half the Catholics would’ve chosen Scotland. Today Scotland and England are part of the same country (legally speaking) and I don’t think the Dutch would be that keen to relitigate the Glorious Revolution.
