Tags: Legislature.
The Parliament of Ireland was a legislature that existed in Dublin from 1297 until 1800. It comprised two chambers: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Lords consisted of members of the Irish peerage and the bishops (after the Reformation Church of Ireland bishops) while the Commons was directly elected albeit on a very restricted franchise.The main purpose of parliament was to approve taxes that were then levied by and for the Lordship of Ireland.
