'The land for the people' : the land question in independent Ireland

Author:	Terence A M Dooley
Publisher:	Dublin : University College Dublin Press, 2004.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Terence Dooley debunks the myth that there was no land question after 1922. In this first systematic analysis of the land question in independent Ireland, he contends that agrarian agitation proved to be an important stimulus to political revolution, 1917-23. He assesses the dangers which agitation posed for the Provisional Government after 1922 and argues that the 1923 Land Act not only ended agrarian agitation but also made a major contribution to ending the Civil War. The Land Commission after 1923 became the most important (and controversial) government body operating in independent Ireland. It acted as a facilitator of social engineering, compulsorily acquiring lands from traditional landlords, large farmers, graziers and negligent farmers and passing them on to smallholders, ex-employees of acquired estates, evicted tenants and their representatives, members of the pre-Truce IRA and the landless. It migrated over 14, 300 farmers onto lands totalling almost 400.000 acres. The continued hunger for land and the impact of land acquisition and division on so many people ensured that the land reform question remained one of the most potent political issues until the early 1980s. -- Publisher description  Read more...
