This book examines how the Irish Parliament was brought to a close, beginning with the passing of the Poynings Law in 1494, and culminating in the Act of Union of 1800. The author follows the guidance of letters and declarations relating to the subject, presenting a chronological account of relevant events. Beyond examining the machinations of the British Parliament and its agents in Ireland, the author also considers the views of the Protestant Ascendancy, as well as the stances of the Irish Catholics and Roman Catholic clergy.
