Long-term Effects
Protectionism remained a key element of Irish economic policy into the 1950s, stifling trade and prolonging emigration. Ironically its architect, Sean Lemass, is now best remembered for dismantling and reversing the policy from 1960, advised by T. K. Whitaker's 1958 report "First Programme for Economic Expansion". This then became an important part of Ireland's entry into the European Economic Community in 1973. The Republic's population rose in the late 1960s for the first time since independence in 1922.
