Richard--
Thank you very much for your E-mail on the Free Immigration book.The Free Immigration is described in Rita Nolan's book,Within the Mullet,pp. 74."In March of 1882 the Tuke Fund was inaugurated at the home of the Duke of Bedford, its object "the assistance to emigration of the smallholders of the West of Ireland." Confined to Clifen, Newport and Belmullet. Controversial.
