Dr Philip Robinson on the Plantation

Dr Philip Robinson explains that the planters did not take 'the good land' from the natives in Ulster - it was an economic process with rent paid according to the condition of the land.

The planters tried to establish a new life but soon became embroiled in the radical politics of the 1798 Rebellion. (Broadcast: 08/05/1999)
