Thread Name: When England originally conquered Ireland
Subject: RE: When England orig'lly conquered Ireland
England ceased to exist as a nation state in 1707 when it became a member of Great Britain so it is incorrect to refer to England as having disolved the Irish parliament in 1801. At the moment Scotland has some form of Parliament but the UK Parliament at Westminister has overall authority and England has no independent parliament or Assembly (like Wales). It is also a fact that America achieved Independence (from Great Britain) after England lost hers.
