Description: In the time period covered by this study, progressive legislation in the areas of land purchase, local government and education, facilitated the movement into local politics of a more advanced nationalist cohort, as the political influence of the local landed elite was being eroded. Examining the changing composition and conduct of the political elites in Fingal explains the conditions that preceded and ultimately influenced the Irish revolutionary period. --
