SHEARMAN, Hugh. Privatising A Church: the disestablishment and disendowment of the Church of Ireland. Lurgan: Ulster Society, 1995. 132pp. Paperback.[`The Irish Church Act 1869 disestablished and disendowed the Church of Ireland. By seperating the Church of Ireland from the Church of England, this made the first break in the settlement which had been established for Ireland by the Act of Union in 1800. As well as having a great immediate effect on the Church of Ireland itself, particularly in Ulster where most members of that Church live, the effects of the Act extended also to several Presbyterian Churches and to the Roman Catholic Church's College at Maynooth..'].
