Last week at Rathcooles Old Courthouse, we had a sold-out talk by renowned historian and broadcaster Myles Dungan on his book “Land Is All That Matters”. The event, organised and hosted by South Dublin Libraries as part of The Red Line Book Festival, was both fascinating and engaging. Dungan took us on a journey through 200 years of agrarian conflict, from the devastating famine of 1741 to the brink of World War II, illustrating how the struggle over land shaped the development of Irish society over the past two centuries.
