Disturbances in Ireland Driven by Tithes and Population Pressures
An examination of Irish rural unrest links rising population and food prices to farm rent and tithe demands. Landlords in Cork and Tipperary reportedly reduced rents, while tithe demands remained largely unchanged. A Cork case in Skibbereen shows a clergyman using valuators to set crops’ tithe values without parish notice, provoking prosecutions and a local insurrection-like episode. Disturbances subsided after reform and transfer of the parish, though broader tensions persist between tithe collection and peasant welfare.
