Because of England’s restrictive trade laws against Ireland during the 17th and 18th centuries smuggling was rampant through all levels of society. Nearly everyone benefited from clandestine trade, from magistrates, clergymen, Justices of the Peace, down to the tenant farmer, boat owner and peasant. All groups contrived in some way or another to keep smuggling going In most of the county’s  anti-commerce laws concerned the shipping of goods out of Ireland to foreign destinations and the importation of merchandise from abroad.
