Union with Ireland Act 1800 (1800 c 67)

The Act enacted in 1800, facilitated the unification of Great Britain and Ireland into a single political entity, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland effective from 1st January 1801. It aimed to address Irish rebellions and integrate the Irish legislature into the British Parliament. Significant developments included the dissolution of the Irish Parliament, establishment of Irish representation in the UK Parliament, and the promise of anti-discriminatory measures against Catholics, although Catholic Emancipation was not achieved until later. This unification reshaped political structures and governance in Ireland and Britain.
