The First Session of the Irish Parliament of George I Commences on 12 November

After a general election, the first session of the Irish Parliament under King George I opens on 12 November 1715. This marks the beginning of a new legislative term that will span six sessions, concluding in 1727.

This Parliament plays a significant role in shaping 18th-century Irish governance under the early Hanoverian monarchy, operating during a time of political tension and the rise of Protestant Ascendancy.
