Scope and content

Lecture written by Father Hayes on rural depopulation in Ireland and his vision for rural regeneration. Father Hayes blames depopulation in part on the overproduction of goods and the Industrial Revolution enabling 'town workers to profit at the expense of their rural brethren'. He also states that Ireland became 'a dumping ground' for surplus goods ('Because we could not protect our native industries they have been almost destroyed in competition with the English manufacturers'). Father Hayes states that 'there must be a balance between the industrial and agricultural roles of society.' He advocates rural and agricultural education and 'a reign of peace & justice in an atmosphere of fraternal co-operation' conducted at the parish level.
