Excerpt from Ireland in the Last Fifty Years The contact, which has too often been a conflict, between England and Ireland is as old as the University of Oxford. The University began somewhere about the year 1167: the entry of the English into Ireland came in the year 1169. The Irish Question, like the University, is thus seven hundred and fifty years of age. But what exactly the Irish Question is - that, in itself, is still another question. According to Sir Horace Plunkett, it is "the problem of a national existence, chiefly an agricultural existence, in Ireland." From this answer one would gather that the Irish question is largely a question of economics. That, however, is not the view of a great number of Irishmen, to whom it is first and foremost a question of politics.
