'A matter which affected their common welfare' - Tenant purchase in Ireland.

Newry and Mourne Museum, Bagenal's Castle, Castle Street, Newry, County Down, BT34 2BY
Map prepared after the passing of the 1923 Irish Land Act as part of the vesting of tenancies in the townland of Cornamucklagh in north County Louth.

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.
