Endorsements
This is a legal and administrative history of the Irish parliament. Rather than taking a chronological, political, or thematic approach, this study of the institution considers how it undertook its work and dispatched the business put before it. Not only is this book putting parliament firmly within the administrative and legal history of Ireland, but it is also putting the Irish parliament firmly within the European parliamentary tradition, and particularly into the colonial system of government of the early modern English world. Whilst never rejecting the importance of parliamentary politics or local representation at the political core of the kingdom, this book attempts to understand parliament when politics is not the sole concern. This study considers the place of the Irish parliament within the administrative structure of the kingdom, and chapters are written around the primary functions of the parliament, how it dispatched its responsibilities, and how these functions and responsibilities developed over time: Listening to grievances and administering justice, creating law, parliamentary privilege, precedent, and regulation, and the role of the staff of the Irish parliament. Based on decades of research on the Irish parliament, Dr Dennehy's book is essential reading for students and academics of early modern Ireland, administrative history generally, and legal and parliamentary history within the burgeoning British empire.
