Summary: "Present Irish Questions" by William O'Connor Morris is a critical examination of the social, political, and agricultural issues facing Ireland written in the early 20th century. The author, a County Court Judge and seasoned observer of Irish affairs, seeks to articulate a comprehensive overview of the complex state of Ireland at the dawn of the 1900s, addressing the pressing inquiries emerging from a long history of conflict and reform. The work spans various aspects of Irish life, including the material progress achieved, the resentment it harbored, and the implications of ongoing debates around Home Rule. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a thorough analysis of Ireland's condition in 1901, highlighting the changes experienced during the Victorian era while pointing out the inadequacies and failures of governmental actions. Morris reflects on the duality of progress and regression, discussing improvements in urban areas alongside the decline of rural agriculture. He emphasizes the socio-political divide among the Irish populace—Catholics, Presbyterians, and Protestants—and notes the persistent discontent among the Catholic majority, attributing their disloyalty to decades of oppression and challenging relationships with British rule. By weaving together historical insights and contemporary observations, the author builds a case for understanding the multifaceted nature of Ireland's 'questions' as the nation confronts its future.
