Irish Land Policy
The Irish Land Policy refers to the set of laws and regulations governing land ownership and use in Ireland. Historically, land ownership was concentrated in the hands of a few landlords, leading to social and economic disparities. The policy has evolved over time, particularly during the 19th century, when reforms aimed to address issues of tenant rights and land access.
Key legislation, such as the Land Act of 1881, sought to improve conditions for tenants by providing security of tenure and fair rents. The policy has continued to adapt, focusing on issues like land redistribution and sustainable agricultural practices to support rural communities and promote economic development in Ireland.
