"The prominence of the Quaker community in Ireland’s industrial history. Families such as the Lambs, Goodbodys, Bewleys, Pims, although small in number, the strict religious beliefs of the Quakers, their position outside both the Catholic and Protestant communities in Ireland, and the fact that they tended to intermarry, led to an accumulation of business interests, expertise and capital within the community that came to a head in the 19th century. Families such as the Lambs were involved in food production at a time when the landed gentry were focused on their affairs in London and the Catholic majority were focused on agriculture and retailing."
