CSO Ireland 2016 retrospective — 'Life in 1916 Ireland: Agriculture' — statistical portrait of the homeland's farming economy in the year JJM was 33

Summary

NOTE on filename: this is **NOT a 1916 agricultural report**; it is a **2016 Central Statistics Office retrospective** about agriculture in 1916 Ireland, published for the 1916 centenary. Filename "1916 Ag Report in IRE" describes the *subject year*, not the publication year. A government statistical portrait of **Irish agriculture in 1916** — crop acreages, livestock numbers, farm-size distribution, regional patterns. Useful as backdrop for any scene set in early-20th-c. Beara/West Cork farming, particularly for any chapter that places the family's homeland economy at the moment of the Easter Rising. 1916 was the year JJM (then 33, in Butte) ran an AOH state-treasurer career and his Beara cousins back home were the farmers whose acreages this report tabulates.
