REPEAL (IRELAND)


Daniel O'Connell

The Bank of Ireland, College Green — before 1801 the seat of the Irish Houses of Parliament, which the Repeal campaign aimed to restore.

'Repeal' [1] [2] was a demand by Irish nationalist leader Daniel O'Connell (6 August 1775 – 15 May 1847) for the repeal of the Act of Union 1800 which had merged the Kingdom of Great Britain and Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801.
