aug 14, 1902 - The Irish Land Act

Description:

This made £100 million available to tenants to buy out their English landlords and become the owner of the land which they had farmed, something that the Irish had wanted for years. However, due to the rejection of Hume Rule, the act only received thanks from the Irish Nationalists who regarded it as a belated recognition of their long- withheld rights, whilst the Irish Unionists dismissed it as nationalist pressure.
