Administration
This chapter examines the changing social composition of the senior civil servants in Ireland between 1891 and 1911. Allegations were made that Catholics were under‐represented in the civil service because they had few educational opportunities but this chapter demonstrates that there were a considerable number of university‐educated Catholics in Ireland by the beginning of the twentieth century many of whom had difficulty taking their place in s…
Politics
This chapter examines the social composition of the main political parties in Ireland in 1881 and 1911. There was a clear ‘greening’ of the political representation during the period under review. However, it is evident that as nationalist politics became more green, unionist politics became more orange. It is also clear that whereas Conservative and Unionist representatives were often recruited from prosperous business and landed backgrounds, Ho…
Land
Landlords dominated Irish society during the nineteenth century but during the period reviewed in this book their power was in serious decline. This chapter looks at the composition of the great Irish landowner class (those landlords who owned estates of more than 10,000 acres), and considers to what extent the composition of this elite group changed between 1881 and 1918. The chapter also examines the reasons why the Irish landlord class decline…
Business
This chapter examines the composition of the business elite in Ireland between 1883 and 1911 and finds that Catholics were extremely under‐represented in terms of their numbers in the population. The chapter then considers why this was the case and engages with the Weber–Tawney debate that suggested that Catholics had less business acumen than Protestants. This hypothesis is refuted and the extent to which the social networks from which the busin…
Conclusion
This chapter summarizes the main conclusions that arise from the data in the book particularly regarding the debate as to whether there was a ‘greening’ of the Irish establishment between 1879 and 1914. The colonial context is presented as one of the key factors in retarding ‘greening’. And the possibility that the ‘greening’ policy contained the seeds of its own destruction—by creating a unionist reaction—is also considered. Finally, the conclus…
Religion
This chapter begins by discussing the shifting power of the Catholic and Protestant churches during the post‐Famine period and shows that Catholic power over the state and nationalist politics was greatly increasing while Protestant power and influence over the state was in serious decline. The chapter then looks at the social background of Catholic bishops, Church of Ireland bishops and Presbyterian Moderators and finds that the Church of Irelan…
Policing
This chapter considers the recent literature on the question of policing in Ireland and particularly that presented in work by William Lowe and Elizabeth Malcolm. Broadly speaking, Lowe suggests that the Irish police officers were becoming more representative of the Irish population in terms of their composition while Malcolm suggests that the officers tended to be less so. The evidence presented in this chapter leans more towards Malcolm's hypot…
Popular Politics and the Making of the Wyndham Land Act, 1900–1903
George Wyndham was firmly committed to introducing a substantial reform of the land question when he became Chief Secretary in November 1900. Although Wyndham had, by the spring of 1902, devised a sophisticated Irish policy, the Lord Lieutenant succeeded in implementing a policy in 1902 which was little more than a hand-to-mouth strategy: the proclamation of sixteen Irish counties and four county boroughs under the Crimes Act. Wyndham's failure t…
Conclusion
Between 1879 and 1923, Ireland experienced two revolutions. The first — beginning with the Land War in 1879 and, arguably, not ending until 1984 when the Land Commission suspended its activities — constituted a social revolution. The second — beginning in 1916 and ending in 1923 — was a political revolution, involving the transfer of state power from one elite to another. This book examines the critical phase of the first revolution — that of the…
