When did the Acts of Union 1800, which was represented in Parliament by such unions as New Ross, take effect?
Acts of Union 1800 The Acts of Union 1800 (sometimes erroneously referred to as a single Act of Union 1801) united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland (previously in personal union) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with effect from 1 January 1801. The "Irish" Act (the Act of the (Old) Irish Parliament) however has since been repealed in the Republic of Ireland some time after Independence.
Newfoundland Act The Newfoundland Act was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that confirmed and gave effect to the Terms of Union agreed to between the then-separate Dominions of Canada and Newfoundland on March 23, 1949. It was originally titled the British North America Act 1949, but was renamed in Canada on the patriation of the Canadian Constitution from the United Kingdom in 1982.
