Some notes on the present position of the Irish land registry question

Abstract

The Irish Land Registry question, indeed the whole question of facilitating the transfer of land in Ireland, from the commencement of its discussion in 1847, down to the latest utterances on the subject, never has belonged to party politics, that is, never has been a question advocated by one party and opposed by the other. There can, therefore, be no party triumph in any particular solution of it, although there may be a just emulation between individual statesmen and law reformers as to who can help this object most.
