Irish House of Lords
The
Irish House of Lords
was the
upper house
of the
Parliament of Ireland
that existed from medieval times until 1800. It was modelled on the
House of Lords of England
, with members of the
Peerage of Ireland
sitting in the Irish Lords, just as members of the
Peerage of England
did at Westminster. When the
Act of Union 1800
abolished the Irish parliament, a subset of Irish peers sat in the
House of Lords
of the merged
Parliament of the United Kingdom
.
