  • 1951 Census Armagh County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7s M NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN ffiELAND 1951 County of Armagh Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST ; HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Governinent of Northern Ireland was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of m^ore limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid­ night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious profession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • Protest: a Collection from Local Museums in Northern Ireland
    INTRODUCTION Digital Trail Protest: A Collection from Local Museums in Northern Ireland Examples of protest are all around us, we are presented with it on the streets, through the airwaves and on our social media channels. Individuals and groups use objects in many ways to communicate disapproval, and to campaign for economic, social and cultural rights. But what of protests in the past, what did they look like, what did they object to, and are they still relevant today? From a trade union poster to a punk record, this digital trail examines the powerful role of objects to protest. The trail features images of objects along with descriptions as well as details of the local museums across Northern Ireland which care for them. Use this trail to explore how objects can be used to highlight campaigns, stand up for different values and ideas, and help bring about or disrupt change. The collection portrays real events and conditions, but more poignantly, taps into sensibilities, objections and perceived struggles which are of local, national and international relevance.

  • Appendix 1 Background Notes on Irish Economic History
    Appendix 1 Background Notes on Irish Economic History It is the fate of some countries ... to live in a state of almost constant suffering; such countries, like sick people, like to change position - each movement gives them the hope of feeling better. Comte de Segur, Memoires au Souvenirs People in torment must squirm. Anna Parnell, The Tale of a Great Sham The nineteenth century in England has been called the Age of Reform. In Ireland it might be termed the Age of Agitation. For more than half the century some parts of Irish civil liberties guaranteed by British law were suspended under Coercion Acts as the government responded to three armed (and abortive) uprisings, 1 the tithe war, agrarian secret societies, O'Connell's mass movements for Catholic emancipation and repeal of the Act of Union, and agitation for Home Rule and land reform. For readers unfamiliar with Irish history in this troubled century a short and very general summary of the economic conditions which led up to the formation of the Land Leagues of 1879 and 1881 is provided here; many of the events and personalities mentioned are the subject of more detailed study in the chapters of this book. No attempt is made here to explore the ancient and rich civilisation of Ireland or to enter into the details of its long history of conquest by the British which began several hundred years ago and ended only in this century. By the Act of Union of 1 January 1801, the Irish Parliament which had enjoyed a certain amount of autonomy since 1782 was abolished and Ireland became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

  • Property's Role in the Fundamental Political
    PROPERTY’S ROLE IN THE FUNDAMENTAL POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF NATIONS: THE SOUTHERN AFRICAN EXPERIENCE HEINZ KLUG* INTRODUCTION There is a dominant assumption that private property is a funda- mental element in the protection of “all other rights” and serves as a bulwark against oppressive government.1 Yet, we also recognize that historically there has been an intimate relationship between the power of the State and property, including private property. As the prominent legal realist, Felix S. Cohen, famously argued in his Dialogues on Private Property, private property may best be described by the statement: To the world: Keep off X unless you have my permission, which I may grant or withhold. Signed: Private citizen Endorsed: The State2 While this statement reflects a core element of the relationship between property and the State, its focus is on the relations between people over access to resources. It does not address how the relation- ship between the State and citizens might be complicated by the State’s endorsement of any particular claims to property. This essay will reflect on the case of southern Africa—Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe in particular—to consider the relationship between the State, property, and the fundamental political structure of nations. Legitimacy—both democratic and constitutional—is a key re- source for a State. If the relationship between king and subject was * Evjue-Bascom Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School, and Honorary Senior Research Associate, University of the Witwatersrand Law School. 1.

  • Land Reform and State Banking in Ireland, 1891-1938*
    Capitalising on the Irish Land Question: Land Reform and State Banking in Ireland, 1891-1938* Nathan Foley-Fisher† Eoin McLaughlin† November 2015 Abstract Land reform and its financial arrangements are central elements of modern Irish history. Yet to date, the financial mechanisms underpinning Irish land reform have been overlooked. The paper outlines the mechanisms of land reform in Ireland and the importance of land bonds to the process. Advances worth over £127 million were made to tenant farmers to purchase their holdings. These schemes enabled the transfer of over three quarters of land on the island of Ireland. The paper introduces a new database on Irish land bonds listed on the Dublin Stock Exchange from 1891 to 1938. It illustrates the nature of these bonds and presents data on their size, liquidity and market returns. The paper finds a high level of state banking in Ireland: large issues of land bonds were held by state-owned savings banks. KEYWORDS: Irish financial history, land reform, land bonds, Dublin Stock Exchange. JEL CLASSIFICATION: N23, N24, N53, N54, G15, Q15 * We gratefully acknowledge comments from Martin Chick, Chris Colvin, Vincent Comerford, David Greasley, Richard Grossman, Aidan Kane, Cormac Ó Gráda, John McDonagh, John Turner and participants at the Economic and Social History Society of Ireland 2013 Annual Conference and the ‘Landlords, tenants and their estates in Ireland: 1600-2013’ NUIG 2013 Conference, and excellent research assistance from Della Cummings and Shannon Nitroy.
