About

Join us for a talk by historian John Corrigan on the tenant purchase movement in the first decades of the 20th century. The presentation will explore local agitation in the wider Newry area, with a specific focus on the tenants of the Hall, Richardson, and Kilmorey estates.

The talk will also include a comparative analysis of how land reform was approached in both the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland following partition. This is a unique opportunity to understand a pivotal moment in Irish history.
