Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: The Peerage of Ireland is a 19th century creation, and is different from the more ancient native Gaelic peerage used by Irish aristocracy from before the arrival of Christianity. The Gaelic system was disrupted by the English peerage in the early modern period by confiscations deemed illegal in Continental courts at the time. The latter system consists of those titles of nobility created by the English monarchs in their capacity as Lord or King of Ireland, or later by monarchs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The English ranks of the Irish peerage are Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount and Baron, whilst the Irish system uses Gaelic titles, in accordance with a genealogy of the Ard Rí (High King of Ireland) chronicled in numerous ancient manuscripts, including the Annals of the Four Masters. The Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland continues to exercise jurisdiction over its Peerage of Ireland, but not those peers whose titles derive from places located in what is now the Republic of Ireland. Importantly, Article 40.2 of the Irish Constitution forbids conference of titles of nobility by anyone but the Uatarán -- President of the Republic -- and a citizen may not accept titles of nobility or honour except with the prior approval of the Government. Gaelic titles of nobility, amongst the oldest in European history, remain the providence of individual clanna or families. Efforts are underway to accord these system with the laws of the Supreme Court of Ireland in friendly negotiation with English conventions and European law. , Viscount Palmerston was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created on 12 March 1723 for Henry Temple, who subsequently represented East Grinstead, Bossiney and Weobley in the British House of Commons. He was made Baron Temple, of Mount Temple in the County of Sligo, at the same time, also in the Peerage of Ireland. He was succeeded by his grandson, the 2nd Viscount, who represented seven constituencies in the House of Commons and served as a Lord of the Admiralty and Lord of the Treasury. On his death the titles passed to his son, the 3rd Viscount, who became a distinguished politician and served three times as Foreign Secretary and twice as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. At his death in 1865 the 3rd Viscount was granted a state funeral, the fourth non-royal to be given this honour. Lord Palmerston was childless and the barony and viscountcy became extinct on his death., The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom. The prime minister (informal abbreviation: PM) and Cabinet (consisting of all the most senior ministers, most of whom are government department heads) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the Monarch, to Parliament, to their political party and ultimately to the electorate. The office is one of the Great Offices of State. The , Theresa May, leader of the Conservative Party, was appointed by the Queen on 13 July 2016., Henry John Temple , 3rd Viscount Palmerston , KG , GCB , PC ( 20 October 1784 -- 18 October 1865 ) was a British statesman who served twice as Prime Minister in the mid- 19th century . Popularly nicknamed `` Pam '' and `` The Mongoose '' , he was in government office almost continuously from 1807 until his death in 1865 , beginning his parliamentary career as a Tory , switching to the Whigs in 1830 , and concluding it as the first Prime Minister of the newly - formed Liberal Party from 1859 . He is best remembered for his direction of British foreign policy through a period when Britain was at the height of its power , serving terms as both Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister , as well as a brief period as Home Secretary . Some of his aggressive actions , now sometimes termed liberal interventionist , were highly controversial at the time , and remain so today . He held these great offices , when his party was in power , over a period of 35 years . He was the only Prime Minister to be over 70 years old at the beginning of his first term and is the most recent and oldest British Prime Minister to die in office . Born the heir to an Irish peerage ( which did not disqualify him from being a member of the House of Commons ) , he accompanied his parents on a two year Grand Tour on the Continent from the age of 8 , before attending Harrow School , the University of Edinburgh ( 1800 -- 1803 ) , and St John 's College , Cambridge ( 1803 -- 1806 ) ; from 1803 he was also a militia officer in the period when an invasion by Napoleon was feared . He succeeded to his father 's title on his death in 1802 . After two false starts in the elections of 1806 , he became a Tory MP for a pocket borough in 1807 , and was made Secretary at War in 1809 , responsible only for the finances of the war , and initially outside the cabinet . He held the job until 1828 , only entering the cabinet in 1827 when George Canning became Prime Minister . Less than a year later he resigned when a growing rift split the Tories . In opposition he switched his focus to foreign policy , and when he returned to office in 1830 it was as Foreign Secretary in a Whig administration ; until 1851 he held the position when the Whigs were in power , dealing with a succession of crises in Europe and beyond . In 1852 he was made Home Secretary in the coalition government of Aberdeen , the Tories having insisted on Russell getting the Foreign Office . He was active in the role , passing various reforms but opposing electoral ones . When public discontent over the Crimean War brought the government down in 1855 , Palmerston was found to be , despite the Queen 's distrust of him , the only Prime Minister who could sustain a majority in Parliament . He had two terms , 1855 -- 1858 and 1859 -- 1865 , before dying in office at almost 81 , a few months after winning a general election with an increased majority ., Subject: henry john temple, Relation: occupation, Options: (A) duke (B) king (C) leader (D) minister (E) nobility (F) politician (G) prime minister (H) secretary (I) united kingdom
