  Terence Dooley is a lecturer in the Department of Modern History, NUI Maynooth.He is author of the bestselling The Decline of the Big House in Ireland: A Study of Irish Landed Families, 1860-1960 (Dublin, 2000).He was commissioned in 2003 by the Department of the Environment and the Irish Georgian Society to write the report A Future for Irish Historic Houses?A Study of Fifty Houses (2003).
  
  Description
  
  While the land question from the mid-Victorian period to the eve of the First World War plays a prominent role in Irish historiography, historians have tended to overlook its importance in post-independence Ireland and have generally assumed that there was no land question after 1922.Terence Dooley debunks this myth.In this first systematic analysis of the land question in independent Ireland, he contends that agrarian agitation proved to be an important stimulus to political revolution during the period 1917 to 1923.He assesses the dangers which agitation posed for the Provisional Government after 1922 and argues that the 1923 Land Act not only ended agrarian agitation but also made a major contribution to ending the Civil War.Dooley emphasises the significance of Irish Land Commission to Irish rural life in an extensive analysis of the working of the Land Commission after its reconstitution in 1923.
  ...
  "Dooley has an eye for the ridiculous as well as for the significant.
  ...
  "While historians, along with English literature compatriots, dissect the writings of James Joyce and William Butler Yeats to find convenient metaphors for explaining Ireland's past, the book by Terence Dooley goes to the heart of the matter and presents a workmanlike account of how 'independent Ireland's' most important asset, its land, was redistributed and reorganised."
  ...
  "[Dooley's] book usefully 'challenges the widely held orthodoxy that there was no land question in independent Ireland'."

  In Hidden History: The Killings at Coolacrease (RTE 1) Dr Terence Dooley of NUI Maynooth, who has written much on the agrarian element of the Troubles, said, ‘‘The revolutionary period was essentially used as a pretext to run many of these Protestant farmers and landlords out of a local community for locals to take up their lands."
  
  Many might find his use of the word ‘essentially' in the context of the national enterprise as a whole somewhat hard to swallow.
  ...
  The Pearsons, who had a farm of 200 acres in Co Laois, had bought a 339 acre farm in 1911 from another Protestant family in Co Offaly and this handing on of land from one to another, Dooley said, added a sectarian tinge to the situation.

  "They were seen as a legacy of a colonial past people wanted to move on from," said Terence Dooley, a lecturer in modern history at Ireland's Maynooth College and author of a report on the subject.

  "To say we're looking at a crisis is no exaggeration," Dooley said.

  Ahern's personal interest has given hope to campaigners like Dooley."I think it's hugely important that these houses are preserved because I think they need to be seen for what they are: an important part of a shared cultural heritage," he said.
