    Andrew, or anyone else…, would you happen to know where the original ionic pillars are? Apparently they are in a public garden but I can’t find any info about them

    To whom it may concern:
    I am doing a paper on Jonathon Swift and wanted to use the picture of “A painting of the Irish House of Commons assembled in 1780″ as stated above, as a reference to emphaize certain key points.
    The picture of “A painting of the Irish House of Commons assembled in 1780″ who painted it?
    Thanks for your time.

    Since the original subjection of Ireland to the Westminister Monarch was as a Papal Lordship and at the behest of Pope using the Forged Donations of Constantine as excuse the Dissolution of the Monasteries could be seen as Nemisis in action.
    The Corpus Christi Act of June 1541 was read in Gaelic and English and by the use of the term A’rd Ri’ogh can be argued to have brought back the Breton Law concept of election of the Monarch.
    The Republican tendencies of the foolish Irish politicians of the Southern sector play into the hands of the Westminister Mob in their interference in Ireland.

    For your information, Andrew, the titles ‘Taoiseach, Tanaiste and Ceann Comhairle are NOT ‘invented Gaelic titles’ but Irish words that were used when Kings and Chieftains were in place in the country, look up any etymology book on the Irish language. Thank you.

    Forgive me, my wording lacked clarity. I did not intend to convey that the terms were invented, but rather that these ancient terms were applied to the modern offices of prime minister, deputy prime minister, and speaker in an inventive way, rather than simply using directly translated terminology like “Príomh-Aire”, etc.
