===Irish Statutes=== - are the laws by which Ireland is governed. "A persistent question throughout Irish history concerned the power of the Irish Parliament and the debate over whether other institutions, i.e., the Westminster Parliament, and the right to legislate for Ireland. The Irish Parliament existed from the thirteenth century through the Act of Union in 1800, but was always considered, at least by the English, as subordinate to the Westminster Parliament. One of the key developments in this area was the passage of Poynings' Law in 1495, which required the Irish to obtain permission from the king and council to hold parliament, and that all proposed statues be approved by the king and his council. | ===Irish Statutes=== - are the laws by which Ireland is governed.
