The reform was preceded by early Irish law which allowed divorce and over two centuries when divorce could be attained by a parliamentary act. As a satirical matrimonial map, produced in early 19th-century Cork, attested: 'Cat and Dog Harbour ... is the principle port for trade to the Divorce Island' which possessed 'a considerable population'. By comparison, 'The chief building ... the Fort of Repentance ... situated in the Vale of Tears, is scarcely ever inhabited'"--
