Answer

The Land Act of 1909 empowered local authorities to purchase agricultural land from private landlords. The Act was passed in response to the growing problem of landlessness in Ireland, and it was hoped that it would help to redistribute land more equitably. The Act was not without its critics, however, and some landlords complained that it was unfair to them.
