[edit] Parliament

There was already an Irish Parliament before 1782. FDR May 22 2:03 PM 2006 (UTC)

In name only, it was totally subservient to the English one.See Poynings Law --Damnbutter 16:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I've changed the reference from the Irish house of commons to the house of commons as the time period refered to appears to be after 1800, thus Union was in place and only one parliament existed. Fetu's dad (talk) 00:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Ascendancy In Fiction

Did any writers pursue this theme? Colin4C 18:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Maria Edgeworth was the first ascendancy writer. Her novels Castle Rackrent(1800) and The Absentee are both about Anglo-Irish landlords. Molly Keane wrote eleven satirical novels about the twilight years of the ascendancy during the early 20th C. Natalie West 20:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
