		A privy council was thus originally a committee of the monarch's closest advisors, who could give him confidential advice on affairs of state.
		The Irish Privy Council was abolished in 1922, when the Irish Free State separated from the United Kingdom; it was succeeded by the Privy Council for Northern Ireland, which became dormant after the suspension of the Parliament of Northern Ireland in 1972.
		Privy Council decisions are not binding on courts in England and but as the judges are usually the same judges who sit in the House of Lords, the decisions are considered highly persuasive.
