Book excerpt: Excerpt from Co-Operation in Ireland The present volume is the third included in the "International Series" of books published by the Publications Committee of the British Co-operative Union. This series is intended, first, to serve as an introduction to the study of the cooperative movement in its national and international aspects, and, secondly, to interest the general reader in co-operation. Each volume included in the series, therefore, contains an account of the history, organisation, and work of the co-operative movement in one particular country. The co-operative movement in Ireland, of which a description is given in the following pages, deserves to be carefully studied, not only by co-operators, but also by all who are interested in the organisation of rural life and industry. Co-operation has spread in Ireland in a truly remarkable manner, and it cannot be gainsaid that the present prosperity of Irish agriculture is almost entirely due to the success of the many different types of co-operative society described in this book. The authors of this volume, Messrs. Lionel Smith-Gordon, M.A., and Cruise O'Brien, M.A., were the first and second librarians in charge of the Co-operative Reference Library, The Plunkett House, Dublin, and they therefore possess intimate knowledge of every part of the co-operative movement in Ireland. The two chapters dealing with industrial co-operation in Ireland have been contributed by Mr. L. P. Byrne, assistant manager of the Irish Agricultural Wholesale Society.
