1909 Plunkett Report

The 1909 Plunkett Report was an Irish government investigation led by Sir Horace Plunkett to address economic challenges in Irish agriculture. It analyzed issues like landownership, tenant rights, and agricultural productivity. The report recommended land reform to empower tenant farmers, improve farming methods, and promote cooperative efforts among farmers. Its goal was to modernize Irish agriculture, reduce poverty among rural workers, and foster stability. The report played a significant role in shaping subsequent land reforms, balancing the interests of landowners and tenants, and laying groundwork for Ireland's agricultural and social development.
