Talk:Parliament of Ireland

message: I am unfamiliar with the history of Ireland, but this sentence seems illogical : Because, most of the Gaelic Irish refused allegiance to the crown, respected the authority of the Lordship of Ireland, or recognized common law, they were officially considered outlaws and were not eligible to either vote or stand for office. (2nd line in Early history)
Shouldn't it be : Because, most of the Gaelic Irish refused to swear allegiance to the crown, to respect the authority of the Lordship of Ireland, or to recognize common law, they were officially considered outlaws and were not eligible to either vote or stand for office. ?
Can someone correct either the sentence .... or me ?</br>

message: I am not Irish, but my impression of this page is that it is Anglo-centric, and assumes that English conquest and domination of the previously independant celtic nation of Ireland is an inevitable, and RIGHT THING.  That unwillingness by celtic peoples to be conquered and dominated by a foreign power is somehow NOT GOOD.

replies: text: Obviously the parliament was an "Anglo" or Norman creation. Gaelic people like the first earls of Tyrone were encouraged to take part, but naturally had to observe the rules.86.46.199.3 (talk) 10:17, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This edit of 19 December 2009 added a spurious reference to a third house, with a long, rambling footnote. The cited source says only (on p. 297) that the spiritual proctors had arrogated to themselves the right to vote in parliament and (on p 298) that in 1537 an act was passed to stop them doing so. I am reverting the edit in its entirety. If anybody thinks some of the other content ("the lords temporal and the lords spiritual sat in the Lords") should be added back then it can be, but I don't think it is needed.

message: The first Irish Parliament on 18th June 1264 invited nobles and bishops, whereas the first English Parliament on 20th January 1265 also invited elected representatives of the major towns. The direct comparison in the lead between the two needs clarification to reflect this. The Irish Parliament began to invite representatives of the Irish people in the 1400s (and the English parliament had met since 1236 with nobles and bishops attending).
