Members of the 1689 Irish Parliament

The Patriot Parliament is the name given to the Irish Parliament called by James II during the 1689 to 1691 war in Ireland. The first parliament called in Dublin since that of 1666 in the reign of Charles II, it held only one session, from 7 May 1689 to 20 July 1689.

The House of Commons was 70 members short as there were no elections in Counties Fermanagh and Donegal. The members were overwhelmingly drawn from the Catholic Old English, and from among Catholic gentry and aldermen. Sir Richard Nagle was elected Speaker of the Irish House of Commons while the Irish House of Lords was led by Baron Fitton; the Lords contained five Protestant peers and four Church of Ireland bishops, including Anthony Dopping, Bishop of Meath, who acted as leader of the opposition.
