Anyone can become a Squireen, so why not own the land to go with it?
This little quirk is a little bit of fun!. Did you know that by ownership of your little piece of Ireland you can by ancient Irish tradition refer to yourself as a Scuibhéir (from Gaelic) or English language version, Squire which means ‘Irish Landowner’.
In Ireland there are no laws that state you can call yourself Squire, Squireen (coming from the diminutive 'Scuibhéirín', 'Little Squire') or Squiress – Just as there are no laws that state you can call yourself Mr or Mrs. This isn’t a matter governed by law, but by definition. In short, ‘Squireen’ means little landowner. It is an indisputable definition. However, the quirk is that there is actually no minimum size of land that you need to own to be a Squire/Squireen/Squiress. So enjoy the title should you choose to use it.
