	Act of Union, 1800 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1800 Act of Union merged the Kingdom of Ireland and the Kingdom of Great Britain (itself a merger of England and Scotland under the Act of Union 1707) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on 1 January 1801.
		The final passage of the Act in the Irish Parliament was achieved with substantial majorities, and was marked by mass bribery of Irish MPs by the British government, including the granting of titles and lands.
		Known as the "Union Flag" (or Union Jack), it combines the flags of England and Scotland with St Patrick's Cross, representing Ireland.

		The obvious reference to the 1801 legislative measure makes it clear to the informed that there will be a political theme to this poem; however, the double meaning of this title in reference to the sexual act signals a poem which emphasizes that Heaney is a master word craftsman, rather than just a political commentator.
		In "Act of Union", Heaney uses metaphors of sexual arousal, rape, and the resulting "demon seed" birth to symbolize the historical "relations" between Ireland and Great Britain.

		In the context of Irish politics, Unionists are people in Northern Ireland, who wish to see the continuation of the 1801 Act of Union, as amended by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, under which Northern Ireland, created in that latter Act, remains part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
		Prior to 1912, Unionists wished to see the Act of Union (which in 1801 had merged the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) remain in place.
		The Home Rule Act 1914 passed (or at least passed all stages under the Parliament Act, 1911, which curbed the veto power of the Lords) but never came into force, due to the onset of World War I (1914–18).

		This status was confirmed by the ''Merchant Shipping (Registration, etc.) Act 1993'' which prohibits the use of any distinctive national colours or those used or resembling flags or pendants on Her Majesty's Ships, except the Red Ensign, the Union Flag with a white border, and some other exceptions permitted elsewhere in the Act.
