On Wednesday, 24th September, 2025, in Whites of Wexford at 8.00.pm, Wexford Historical Society begins the new season’s series of lectures with a talk by the eminent historian, Terence Dooley. His lecture is based on his most recent book, which is entitled “Land Reform and Legislation in Ireland 1800 – 2024”.
Professor Terence Dooley is the Head of Department at the Centre for the Study of Historic Irish Houses and Estates at Maynooth University in Co. Kildare. His book, which has Tony McCarthy and Annie Tindley as fellow authors, was published in October, 2024. This topic of land ownership and land redistribution will be of great interest to those wanting to find out how the thorny issue of “the Irish Land Question” finally played out and was resolved in the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, on the island of Ireland.
Not to be missed as we had a record attendance at Terence Dooley’s previous lecture to our society in October, 2024 with his talk on “Burning the Big House ….. The Story of the Irish Country House in a Time of War and Revolution.”
