	Irish Land Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Irish situation was favourable, with agriculture improving and pressure on the land decreasing since the Irish potato famine.
		The Land Act turned the tide of laissez-faire legislation favouring capitalist landlordism, and in principle, if not in practice, was a defeat for the concept of the absolute right of property.
		Contined land agitations throghout the 1880s and 1890s culminated in the revolutionary Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 which in turn contributed to the success of the United Irish League (UIL) in the 1900 general election, laying the foundation to a lasting solution in the land question.

		Although the 1886 Act failed to address key concerns like land restoration for the displaced, this proved to be a watershed statute since it provided three rights to the crofter: security of tenure subject to prescribed conditions, fair rent, and compensation for permanent improvements (MacLeod, 1996).
		The 1886 Act specified which parishes in the seven counties were eligible for croft status and set forth the formal nature of crofting and enumerated other vital rights.
		It was not, however, until the passage of the Crofters (Scotland) Act in 1961 that crofters obtained a provision for improvements for non-agricultural pursuits (MacCuish, 1987, p.91).

	Tithe Applotment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tithe was a tax payable on agricultural land to the Established Protestant Church of Ireland, and was naturally greatly resented by non-members of that denomination.
		A series of acts were passed from 1823 onwards in an effort to make the method of calculating the tax fairer, but it was eventually to be generally abolished in 1869 (though it survived into this century in some cases as a rent charge).
		Under the 1823 Act, Commissioners were appointed to value land in each parish, and books listing tithe-payers and quantities of land were compiled for most parishes, generally at dates between 1823-38.

	CHAPTER VIII
		This eight-course system combined with filling up every space on the land with strong-growing grasses and plants, raised from pure seeds true to their kind--which are stronger than most weeds--literally obliterates weeds, and prevents others from growing--thereby, of course, saving the waste caused by growing weeds and the cost of removing them.
		And even if the capitalist tenants were inclined to lay out money in landed improvements, the possibility of having their farms wholly or partially seized for the creation of small holdings, would be a sufficient check to any tendency they might otherwise have to lay out money on the land.
		Alongside of this nationalized land, we have what are called the permanently settled districts--in other words, where the owners of land have to pay a fixed rate of taxation which is not subject to any revision.

		But, due to growing tensions between landlords and tenants in the 1870's and the bad harvests of 1879 and 1880, with the consequent growth of the Land League and tenant right associations, the dominance of the landlords was weakened.
		The 1881 Land Act gave the tenants important new rights over their holdings and the Ashbourne act of 1885 began a process of land purchase which, by the First World War, had resulted in most of the tenants obtaining the ownership of their farms.
		Most of the Youngs' land was sold to the tenants under the terms of the 1903 Wyndham Act, but the family retained the castle and about 300 acres of gardens, woods and farmland.

		Due to the presence and influence of human inhabitation during the period that the peatlands formed there is reluctance for them to be considered ‘natural’ phenomena that should be preserved from use.
		However, with the advent of the ability to mechanically harvest the peat at great speeds and quantities Irish culture was forced to evaluate the ways peatlands were important before they disappeared.
		Initially, return of the land to agricultural use was the plan but with the advent of set-aside and Common Policy (CAP) reform, grassland production was being targeted for reduction, and other forms of use were explored.

		Soon after taking office he made good on his campaign promise of 1932 to end payment of "land annuities" to the British government (payments made by Irish farmers for loans granted by the British government under the Land Acts of 1891-1909 that allowed them to buy their land).
