	Definition of Parliament of Ireland - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Irish Parliament was originially founded in the 13th century to represent the English community in the Lordship of Ireland.
		In 1494, the Parliament encouraged the passing of Poyning's Law which subordinated the Irish Parliament to the English one, so that the Irish Parliament could not be bullied by the powerful landed families in Ireland like the Earl of Kildare into passing laws that pursued the agendas of the different dynastic factions in the country.
		After the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Irish Catholics were barred from voting or attending the Parliament altogether in the Cromwellian Act of Settlement 1652.

		The conclusion, then, may be drawn that in theory the issue of a writ was at the pleasure of the Crown, and that in practice the moving factor in the case of the prelates was office and personal importance, and in the case of abbots and barons probably, in the main, extent of possession.
		The great bulk of the Irish peerage ewes its existence to creations during the last two centuries, only seven of the existing peerages dating back beyond the 17th century; of the rest twenty-two were created during the year of Union, and thirty-three have been added since that date.
		Scottish and Irish peers, whether possessing seats in the House of Lords or not, are entitled to trial by peers, the same procedure being followed as in the case of members of the House of Lords.

	Peerage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		There are various parts to the Peerage which convey slightly different benefits: the Peerage of England pertains to all titles created by the Kings and Queens of England prior to the Act of Union in 1707.
		The only remaining peerage with associated lands controlled by the holder is the Duchy of Cornwall, which is associated with the Dukedom of Cornwall, a dukedom held by the eldest son and heir to the Sovereign.
		While life peerages were often created in the early days of the Peerage, their regular creation was not provided for under an Act of Parliament until 1876, with the passage of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act.

		In the case of Scottish and Irish peerages, however, the royal prerogative is restricted by statute.
		A new Irish peerage can be created only when three existing peerages have become extinct; and this rule is to be maintained until the number of Irish peers is reduced to one hundred, after which a new peerage may be created as often as an old one becomes extinct.
		Of the hereditary peerages, 3 date from the thirteenth century, 4 from the fourteenth, 7 from the fifteenth, 12 from the sixteenth, 35 from the seventeenth, and 95 from the eighteenth, while 341, or more than two-thirds of the whole number, have been created during the nineteenth century.

	The British Peerage:
		The position of the peerage in New Zealand is akin to that of the Irish peerage.
		Peerage is the dignity to which is attached the right of a summons by name to sit and vote in Parliament.(100) There are however some peers who are not lords of Parliament, and lords of Parliaments who are not peers- the lords spiritual.
		Peerages conferred by the British Sovereign are not, in the law of New Zealand, titles conferred by a foreign Sovereign.

	THE IRISH PEERS AND THE HOUSE OF LORDS - THE FINAL CHAPTER
		The existing Irish representative peers continued to be summoned to sit in the House of Lords until the last survivor, the Earl of Kilmorey, died in 1961.
		In 1965 a number of Irish peers led by the Earl of Antrim petitioned the House of Lords for the recognition of their right to elect 28 representative peers to sit in the House of Lords.
		It was possible that another group of Irish peers who had not been party to the earlier petition would have presented a further petition and resisted the application of the precedent in the earlier case on the basis that a relevant argument had not been considered.

		Under the Union with Ireland Act which abolished the Dublin Parliament in 1800, members of the Irish peerage were entitled to elect 28 of their number to represent them in the upper house at Westminster.
		This had been allowed to lapse when the Irish Free State was created in 1921, although those elected before then were allowed to stay; the last survivor, the Earl of Kilmorey, died in 1961.
		It was rebuffed on the grounds that the Irish peers had been elected to serve "on the part of Ireland" but Ireland, as a whole, was no longer part of the United Kingdom.

	GLOSSARY - BURKE'S GUIDE TO BRITISH TITLES
		The term peerage derives from the Latin word for equal (par) and to the extent that all peers with seats in the House have tended to be summoned to it irrespective of their relative rank, importance or wealth, the term still has some relevance.
		The institution of a peerage (2) as a body of notional equals, sometimes even the equal of the King in the extent of land they held, existed in mainland Europe long before the development of the House of Lords offshore.
		Someone possessing a title in the peerage (2) of England is not necessarily an Englishman by birth as opposed to a Scot, Irishman etc. Nor has he even necessarily always been English by birth as opposed to naturalisation.

		Some quotes: "The history of the Peerage is a history of intrigue, profligacy, corruption, jobbing, and peculation.
		An Irish Peerage is a step to the British; a man is created an Irish Peer for servility, oppression, and bigotry in his own country; and then he is ready for transplanting to this, whenever his services shall be wanted.
		This Peerage, therefore, has obviously been obtained in the way of trade -- it is solely the purchase of money or money's worth.

	Peerage Basics
		The higher the rank, the more likely it is that the peer holds several peerages, which may be distributed throughout the five peerages, depending upon their dates of creation.
		Women were not allowed a seat in the House of Lords, even if they held a peerage in their own right, until the 1963 Peerage Act granted them that right.
		Nonetheless, before then they held all of the other privileges which attended their specific peerage, although often if the peerage carried with it some special office, the office would be fulfilled by the peeress's husband.

		But it is a sympathy that one would feel for all those who were facing an enforced change of occupation or a lifestyle taken away that was of their choosing.
		But those are not reasons for compromising on the basic proposal that all automatic connection between the hereditary peerage and this House should be severed.
		I reaffirm that although we understand the emotional attachment that people have to the hereditary peerage as Members of your Lordships' House it is more than an emotional attachment because it has constituted, and does constitute, an enormous barrier to rational and focused discussion.

		The peerage of Ireland, on the union of that country, was dealt with, in some measure, upon different principles from that of Scotland.
		It was admitted that the peerage of that country was too numerous, and ought gradually to be diminished; and with this view, the royal prerogative was so far restricted, that one Irish peer only can be created, whenever three Irish peerages,—in existence at the time of the Union,—have become extinct.
		In 1859, the Irish peerage consisted, besides the King of Hanover and one Peeress, of 193, of whom 73 are also English peers.

		I told them truly, there were no less than fifty-three candidates for peerage, and to none of which the king would [284] listen.' And every minister since that time, has probably been obliged to resist the solicitations of not less than ten earnest claimants, for every peerage which he has advised the crown to bestow.
		The right of the crown to admit Scottish peers to the peerage of Great Britain having at length been recognised, the king exercised the right in favour of the Earl of Abercorn and the Duke of Queensberry,—both of whom were sitting, at that time, in the House of Lords, as representative peers of Scotland.
		A similar absorption of the Irish peerage into the peerage of the United Kingdom has also been observable, though, by the terms of the Act of Union, the full number of one hundred Irish peers will continue to be maintained.

		Almost all media attention is paid to the half dozen or so tycoons who have taken the role (as well as many of the houses) of the Anglo-Irish peerage and the remarkable collections, largely of Irish paintings, which they have formed over the past three decades.
		For the past few decades, the pattern of art buying among the newly wealthy Irish has changed utterly, with the native and local being valued almost to the total exclusion of English and continental works of the same type, date and quality.
		A generation or two ago, the signatures on paintings by eighteenth-century Irish artists such as William Ashford and George Barret were routinely erased by unscrupulous dealers in the hope that they could be passed off as works by Richard Wilson or some follower of Zuccarelli.
