 Peerage of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before 1801, Irish Peers had the right to sit in the Irish House of Lords, but after the Union in 1801, Irish peers, like those of Scotland, only elected representative peers — twenty-eight in number — to the House of Lords (see List of Irish representative peers).
Irish Peerages continued to be created for some time after 1801 as a way of creating peerages which did not grant a seat in the House of Lords.
Also, if the peer holds a lower title in the Peerages of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom, and therefore sat by such a peerage in the House of Lords, such a lower title is listed.

It served as the seat of both chambers (the Lords and Commons) of the Irish parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland for most of the eighteenth century until that parliament was abolished in the Irish Act of Union in 1800 when the island became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The design of this radical new Irish parliamentary building, the one and only ever purpose-built Irish parliamentary building in history, was trusted to a talented young architect, Edward Lovett Pearce, who was himself a Member of Parliament and a protégé of the Speaker of the House of Commons, William Connolly of Castletown House.
When in 1919, Irish republican MPs elected in the 1918 general election assembled to form the First Dáil and issue a Unilateral Declaration of Independence, they chose not to seek to use the old Irish parliament house but instead the Round Room of the Mansion House, the residence of the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

Peers of England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom were automatically members of the House of Lords, subject only to age and citizenship qualifications.
A further important change occurred in 1999, when hereditary peers were stripped of their automatic right to sit in the Lords, with ninety-two peers—the holders of the ceremonial offices of Lord Great Chamberlain and Earl Marshal, along with ninety peers elected by other hereditaries—being retained temporarily until the completion of the reforms.
Peers of Scotland and Ireland were not all members of the House of Lords; rather, they elected a limited number of representative peers from among their number (although all Scottish peers sat in the House between 1963 and 1999).

 Telegraph | News | Lord Dunboyne
The 28th Lord Dunboyne, who died yesterday aged 87, was a circuit judge whose most passionate legal interest was the cause of the Irish peers denied their right to sit in the House of Lords.
Dunboyne was the moving spirit in a group of Irish peers who petitioned the House's committee for privileges in 1965.
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.

 IRISH CHIEFS
The derbfine was composed of the male descendants of a common great-grandfather, and its choice was not limited to the eldest son of a serving Chief, although of course he could be and not infrequently was selected to succeed his father.
Although there is much talk of Irish 'Clans' and 'Clan Chiefs', it is also important to remember that the Irish did not have a clan system exactly like the Scots, despite the many elements of Gaelic culture common to both countries.
It is important to stress that most Irish Chiefly titles fell into disuse, and indeed war, flight abroad and destruction of records meant that most aristocratic Gaelic lineages became obscured from the seventeenth century onwards.

A hereditary peer is a peer whose dignity may be inherited.
Thus, individuals who use the style Lord or Lady are not necessarily peers, but it is usually possible to distinguish them by a knowledge of which subsidiary hereditary titles (such as "Marquess of Hartington") are in use and by a proper observation of whether Lord or Lady are used with or without the first name.
Some peers, particularly life peers who were well-known before their ennoblement, do not use their peerage titles at all in authorial bylines or other ordinary usage, but go by their proper names.
