Notes:-

  • a William Vesey Fitzgerald (MP for Ennis 1808-1812 and 1813-1818) appears to be the same person as William Vesey-Fitzgerald, the MP from 1831 to 1832, although the biographical article in Wikipedia does not confirm this. Walker includes all three terms as MP for Ennis in one index entry.
  • b Stooks Smith classifies O'Brien as a Whig MP, but the Wikipedia biographical article suggests he was a Conservative MP (i.e. a Tory) in 1828-1831.

Famous quotes containing the words members of, members and/or parliament:

    If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.
    Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)

    The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
