Lecture written by Father Hayes on rural depopulation in Ireland and his vision for rural regeneration. Father Hayes blames depopulation in part on the overproduction of goods and the Industrial Revolution enabling 'town workers to profit at the expense of their rural brethren'. He also states that Ireland became 'a dumping ground' for surplus goods ('Because we could not protect our native industries they have been almost destroyed in competition with the English manufacturers').
