Abstract

[fre] La coopération n'a pu se développer en Irlande avant 1880, par suite de l'insécurité totale du régime foncier. Le développement des coopératives fut plutôt le fait d'intellectuels que de fermiers. Elle se développa néanmoins rapidement avec l'espoir que les coopératives seraient au service de toute la communauté pour l'achat, la vente, l'éducation. Les coopératives connurent un sérieux recul quand, aux environs de 1920, de par leur neutralité politique, elles furent méprisées par les nationalistes et brûlées par les britanniques. Leurs membres furent alors divisés par la Guerre Civile et la chute des prix agricoles nuisit aux affaires. . Voici maintenant le second printemps du mouvement coopératif. Sur des bases économiques consolidées les coopératives groupent une nouvelle génération de fermiers, mieux instruits, plus ambitieux sur le plan économique, étudiant l'usage des coopératives qui existent et le développement de nouvelles. . Les problèmes actuels sont la stabilisation des laiteries en unités traitant 250.000 tonnes de lait par an. [eng] Cooperation could not develop in Ireland prior to about 1880 because of the complete insecurity oj land tenure. At first the cooperative development Was based not on the farmers but rather on the intellectuals. Nonetheless it developed rapidly with the objective of all purpose cooperatives servering every need of the community in buying, marketing, education. The cooperatives suffered a severe setback in the early 1920's when owning to their political neutrality they were scorned by the Nationalists and burnt by the British. The members were then split by the Civil War, and business hurt by the fall in agricultural prices. . The second spring of the cooperative movement is now apparent. Having consolidated their business position the cooperatives find that a new generation of farmers, better educated and with more economic ambition, is learning to use these cooperatives which exist and to develop new ones. Problems which present themselves are the consolidation of creameries into units handling 250,000,000 kilogrames of milk per year, the tacking over of 60 % of the animal fodder, compounding and sales, the reorganisation of the central organisation.
