What Was the Irish House of Commons?
The Irish House of Commons was a very important part of the government in Ireland before it joined with Great Britain in 1801. It was where laws were discussed and voted on. The people listed below were the ones who had a say in these laws during a specific period. They were chosen to represent different towns, cities, or counties across Ireland.
Who Were the Members of Parliament (MPs)?
The members of the House of Commons were called MPs. They were usually wealthy landowners or important people from different parts of Ireland. Their job was to speak for the people in their area, though not everyone had the right to vote back then. Some MPs served for the whole period, while others might have joined later or left early due to things like death, resignation, or being given a special title (which was called being "ennobled").
Why is This List Important?
This list helps us understand who was involved in making decisions for Ireland during these years. It shows the names of the people and the areas they represented. Sometimes, an MP might represent more than one area over time, or they might have had special roles, like being a "Chief Secretary for Ireland," which was a very important job in the government.
