Who Owns IrelandThe Hidden Truth of Land Ownership in Ireland\nAuthor(s): Kevin Cahill\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: The History Press Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: The History Press Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780750984454, 978-0750984454\nSynopsis\nIt is the barbed wire entanglement that tortures yet frees in the long story of this small island on the dark edge of Europe. It defined the national struggle for independence far more than any other single issue. The famine between 1845 and 1850 killed a million of the islands population of 8 million and drove another million into exile. This event chopped Irish history in half, demonstrating as nothing else could that without security of tenure for a normal life span you were at the mercy of landowners. This book is not about the famine, but about the key event that followed it: the extraordinary redistribution of land from mainly aristocratic landed estates to small farmers. This redistribution took over 150 years, from famines end to the closure.
