  • Walsh, B.M..H.

Abstract

Ireland's unique population history has attracted a great deal of attention. The post-Famine decline in the population -especially in the twenty six counties that now form the Republic- has been studied intensively. The historical process of change in regional and urban-rural distribution of the population has received less attention, however. The aim of the present paper is to redress this neglect by investigating the dynamics of urbanization and regional population change in Ireland in the century and a half after the Famines conditions such as the occupational structure and level of urbanization strongly influenced by the subsequent growth and development of the Irish regions.
