Elizabeth inherited a diminishing control over Ireland. Despite royal laws forbidding immigration by Scots, Scottish-Gaelic clans consolidated power and repudiated the crown. Radclyffe, who had been Mary's lord deputy of Ireland, was retained as Elizabeth's lord lieutenant. While he was largely unsuccessful, his second-in-command Sidney did have some success.
Sidney eventually served as Elizabeth's lord president of the Welsh marches, and then as lord deputy of Ireland. He had significant success in implementing surrender and regrant policies; chiefs and lords were compelled to surrender lands to the crown, then granted those same lands within the feudal structure of the English crown. He also enacted widespread violence (e.g., suppression of the First and Second Desmond Rebellion, the Massacre of Mullaghmast, etc.) to maintain command over the territory.
