 | | 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 by the Act of Union in 1800 when the island became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. | | | Carew's house, (later renamed Chichester House after a later owner Sir Arthur Chichester) was already a building of sufficient importance to have become a temporary home of the Kingdom of Ireland's law courts during the Michaelmas law term in 1605. | | | The House of Lords was presided over, as in the English and British parliaments, by the Lord Chancellor, who sat on the woolsack, a large seat stuffed with wool from each of the three kingdoms, England, Ireland and Scotland. |

| | The legislative primacy of the House of Commons over the Lords was confirmed in the 20th Century by the passing of the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949. | | | Growing pressure for reform of parliament in the 18th and 19th Centuries led to a series of Reform Acts which extended the electoral franchise to most men (over 21) in 1867 and, finally, to women over 21 in 1928. | | | The Queen today remains the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and, as the sovereign, must by law be a member of that Church. |

| | The Irish Episcopal Conference argued that the pro-life constitution is interpreted in accordance with the Supreme court ruling allowing abortion for the threat of suicide and thus the legislation, in banning this exception would be preferable to the status quo. | | | The bill has one positive aspect in that it overrules the Supreme Court ruling which allowed abortion in the case of a threat to the life of the mother, but included a mother's threat of suicide as allowable grounds. | | | The UK Society for the Protection of Unborn Children responded with consternation to the decision of the Irish bishops to support the new proposal.The National Director of SPUC in the UK, John Smeaton, said: "The action of the Bishops in supporting the wording of this referendum is deplorable. |
