Writing Peace: Treaties and Agreements

1800-08-01

This is one of the two parallel Acts of Union 1800 which united the Kingdom of Great Britain and Kingdom of Ireland to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

The short title given here was assigned by the Short Titles Act 1896.

The long title of the complementary acts was: An Act For The Union Of Great Britain And Ireland.

Prior to the Act, the two kingdoms existed in personal union. When the Act came into force on 1 January 1801 it dissolved the old Irish Parliament and created an amalgamated Parliament, with an Irish minority, at Westminster.

The Act remained in force until the Government of Ireland Act (1920) when Ireland was partitioned.

NOTE: The original version of the Union with Ireland act is not available - This is a revised version with notes of changes made. Note also that the item date given is the date of Royal Assent and not the date the Act became effective.

Titled: The Union with Ireland Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67)
