Background

The Parliament was called by the Earl of Strafford, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, because of King Charles I's need to raise funds and men to fight against the Scots in the Second Bishops' War. The main item on the agenda therefore was taxation.

On 31 March Strafford prorogued parliament until the first week of June.Шаблон:R On 3 April 1640 Strafford left Ireland.Шаблон:R

2nd session

Lord Deputy Wandesford opened the 2nd Session on 1 June.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn News from England was the Short Parliament had refused subsidies to the King.Шаблон:Sfn The Irish MPs regretted having voted subsidies and wanted to sabotage their action by changing how the subsidies would be evaluated and collected.Шаблон:Sfn After two weeks of inconclusive discussions, Wandesford prorogued parliament on 17 June.Шаблон:Sfn

3rd session

Parliament reconvened on 1 October 1640 for its 3rd Session.Шаблон:Sfn The Commons created a committee for grievances. The committee prepared a remonstrance (complaint) against Strafford, that was then approved by the House of Commons.Шаблон:Sfn This remonstrance is also called the "November Petition". Wandesford prorogued parliament on 12 November,Шаблон:Sfn a day after Strafford's impeachment in Westminster by the Long Parliament.Шаблон:Sfn A delegation of 13 MPs,Шаблон:Sfn headed by Audley Mervyn, travelled to London to submit the remonstrance to the King, arriving on 21 November.Шаблон:Sfn On 12 November Wandesford prorogued Parliament until 26 January 1641.Шаблон:Sfn The Irish House of Lords had not acted on grievances during the 3rd Session, but after its prorogation some Lords decided to send Gormanston, Dillon, Kilmallock, and Muskerry to London to present separate Lords' grievances.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

4th session

The Irish Parliament met in its 4th Session on 26 January 1641.[1] Lord Deputy Wandesford had died on 3 DecemberШаблон:Sfn and the Irish government had devolved upon the Lords Justices, Parsons and Borlase.Шаблон:Sfn The Lords recognised its members who had gone to London as one of its committees.Шаблон:Sfn On 18 February the Lords' grievances were written up in 18 articles. The main complaint was that Strafford had overtaxed them.Шаблон:Sfn

On 20 February 1641, Muskerry, aged about 70, died in LondonШаблон:Sfn during his parliamentary mission. His son, Charles MacCarty, one of the two MPs of County Cork, succeeded his father at the Lords. In the resulting byelection Redmond Roche was elected to his seat at the Commons.Шаблон:Sfn Muskerry's place in the Lords' delegation in London stayed vacant until 3 March when the Lords appointed Thomas Roper, 2nd Viscount Baltinglass in his stead.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The Lords Justices prorogued parliament on 6 March.Шаблон:Sfn

Expulsions and cessation

In June 1642 Sir Robert LynchШаблон:Sfn and Redmond Roche (on the 22nd)Шаблон:Sfn were expelled from parliament for having joined the rebels. There must have been others in the same case.

The sessions of the Parliament ceased in 1647 when Marquess of Ormond handed Dublin over to the Parliamentarians,Шаблон:Sfn but King Charles I never formally dissolved the parliament. Legally, the Parliament is considered dissolved by King Charles I's execution in 1649.
