The Penal Laws were bought in from 1700 by the English Administrative, Judicial and Military Establishment, to deprive the Catholic Irish of land, education and professional advancement breathtaking in its ambition it is probably only in the last 50 years that the effects have lifted.

Recent work would suggest that perhaps 25% of land remained in effective Catholic control through various conveyancing devices. The laws still inspired terror in Catholic landowners and the activities of adventurers wig makers from Dublin and sundry person preying on defective estates in the 1740s comprised two thirds of the business of the 4 courts.
