Applying this principle to the subject in hand, we find that Absenteeism inflicts an injury upon Ireland, in addition to, and quite distinct from the one, which results from the nature of the commodities sent by Ireland to England.

But the fact remains that though he was kind and helpful to his flock while among them in sickness and in trouble their physician as well as their spiritual adviser his ideas as to clerical absenteeism were those of his age, and moreover his preaching to the end of his life was not of a kind to arouse much interest or zeal.
It was in her imagination a land of cold bleak rains and unwholesome fogs. But it was worse; it was the country of a people who had been false to their ancient faith.

For 1829-30 the tribute was £4,156,576. Let us now inquire how things stood with regard to absenteeism.

But it was enormously intensified by the shifting of the centre of gravity of Irish politics, industry, and fashion from Dublin to London.
