The Declaratory Act of 1720, which had asserted Britain’s right to legislate for Ireland and denied the Irish House of Lords its appellate authority, was repealed. This marked a significant moment in Irish legislative history, restoring a measure of autonomy to the Irish Parliament during the period of Grattan’s Parliament.
