BBC News - 'King of Ireland' law repealed by Irish government
Quote
A law stating that the Queen is "king of Ireland" is among thousands of obsolete statutes to be repealed by the Irish government.

It is one of 5,782 regulations and orders dating from before the Republic of Ireland became independent that are being cleared from the statute books.

It is the largest repeal of outdated laws carried out in any country.

The 1542 proclamation being repealed declares that the English crown shall be "King of Ireland".

Among the other orders listed for removal are:
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too"      Voltaire

I can see humor in most things & I would rather laugh than cry.    Snokitty

I would have thought that law in particular would have been taken off the books some time ago - A proclamation of


1561 declaring Ulster king Shane O'Neill to be a traitor


so there is hope for Anne Boleyn - but does this now mean the O'Neill ancestors get their land back ??   :hehe:
