1806 AD Henry Grattan, the Anglo - Irish Statesman, and previous leader of the Irish Patriot "Opposition" in Ireland, was now the M.P. for Dublin in Southern Leinster in the combined Ascendancy British Parliament at Westminster in England brought about by the Immoral Union, where he was still endeavouring to bring on Catholic Emancipation (The right for all Catholics in the British Imperial Empire to vote and be represented in the Westminster Parliament.)

     In the Ulster Province, the previous hard - line "Orange Order" were now split between Conservative Fundamentalism, and the more "improved" New Light Doctrines, which caused Baron Smith to state that, "A spurious and illiberal loyalty, which grows up among the vulgar classes, and which is very turbulent, bigoted, riotous, and affronting, very saucy and overbearing, almost proud of transgression, necessarily producing exasperation, and often leading to the effusion of blood. It is rebellious and insurrectionary, propensity gone astray, and running in contradiction to the channel of allegiance." 

     The Conservative British Imperial Tory Government in England,  invested a descendent of Lawrence Parsons, the English Earl of Rosse who had originally been granted the territory of the Heberian Cianachta O Carroll's, the Kings of Ely and their Castle at Birr in Co. Offaly in the mid - west of Southern Leinster, which had been initially brought about when that particular Heberian Irish Family were also "Outlawed" and their territory there inclose proximity to The English Pale "confiscated" also to the English Crown. 

    William "Bottomless" Pitt - the Younger was now "out" as the British Imperial Conservative Tory Prime Minister, and Lord Grenville was in as the new"Whig" Prime Minister of the British Imperial Government until 1807 AD and would support Catholic Emancipation.

   John Keogh the leader of the Catholic Committee in Ireland now wanted to keep a "low profile," so as to not upset the Ascendancy but Daniel O Connell - the Liberator wanted to continue with "democratic political agitation" to try and bring about Catholic Emancipation, in his opinion while the "time was right" and Daniel O Connell was to win the ballot by 134 votes to 110 at the Catholic Party Conference. 

1806 AD - 1833 AD During this period in time, the Ascendancy Evangelical Society, which was to be set up by a "minority" non - Catholic group in Ireland, who were part of the Ascendancy there and who were now on the defensive more then ever, were still trying to "convert" the Irish Catholics in Ireland, while the Ascendancy Church of England itself founded its own "Church Education Society" there to try and bring about a similar result on the Irish Catholic "majority."    

 1807 AD The British Imperial Conservative Tory Government now under the Duke of Portland was returned to power in England and the "Tories" would now remain in power once again until 1830 AD, and Sir Arthur Wellesley / Lord Wellington, who was now the British "Whig" Chief Secretary in Ireland, who was anti - Catholic, "informed" the Ascendancy's British Imperial Conservative Tory Government that Ireland should be considered as an "Enemy's Country."

     In Ireland, in a sign of things to come, a meeting was held in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province by the non - Catholics who were living there, to demand the "liberation" of all Irish Catholics from the ongoing oppressive ethnic and religious Irish Penal Laws and Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, who was an Irish Catholic barrister from Derrynane Abbey in Co. Kerry in the south - west of Munster, now began to make his presence felt even more in the conflict against the continuing "ethnic and religious repression" that was continued to be carried out by those in authority in the Conservative Ascendancy in Ireland.

   William Saurin, who had originally led the members of the Irish Bar "against" the introduction of the Immoral Union, was now to be appointed the British Imperial Conservative Tory Government's Attorney - General in Ireland until 1822 AD.

   Denis O Hempsey / Hampsey / Ua hAmhsaigh the harpist, who died this year at 110 year of age at Hollyrood, had been married at 86 years of age and produced a child.

1808 May: Henry Grattan the Anglo - Irish Statesman, who had been the Irish Patriot Party's leader previously in the political "Opposition" in Ireland put forward a "motion" again for Catholic Emancipation in the Westminster Parliament, introducing a proviso allowing a "veto" over the appointment of Catholic Bishops, stating that he had been instructed to do so by the Catholics themselves, but despite this defining restriction on religious Catholic appointments it too was "ejected" in the Ascendancy British House of Commons by 289 - 128 votes. 

September: The Catholic Irish Bishops, held a meeting to discuss the recent desperate move by Henry Grattan to allow the religious "restriction" on the Catholic clergy to try and gain Catholic Emancipation in the Westminster Parliament, but they "could not" bring themselves to adopt his proposition of intending to allow a "veto" by the Ascendancy British Imperial Tory Government in England, over the general personal "religious life" of Catholics, and the Catholic Committee who had previously been controlled by the more "conservative" elements or "upper classes" under John Keogh, who were too frightened to "upset" the British Imperial Conservative Ascendancy Government, were now in the "decline," and this was to allow the more progressive elements to come to the fore. Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, was to become their "new leader," and he immediately began a "real push" for Catholics to have the right to vote and be represented in the Westminster Parliament. (Emancipation.)

       Mac Finghin Dubh O Sullivan, the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Chieftain, died this year, and he was interred at the Monument in Kilnakilloge Bay in Co. Cork in Southern Munster. 

    St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral was also constructed in the City of Cork in Co. Cork in Southern Munster.  

   Nelson's Column was erected in Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster to commemorate the "Battle of Trafalgar," to symbolise the British Imperial Government's power and the overall authority that they still held over the population in Ireland.

1809 AD John O Donovan / Sean Mor Ua Donnabhain the Irish historian, was born at Atastemore in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster on his father's farm, although originally the O Donovans were from a Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Fidgheinti Sept in the south - west of Co. Cork, until the Family had "migrated" nearby into Southern Leinster after being driven out of their initial kingdom and territory in Co. Limerick in the north - west of the Munster Province and on his death bed, his father was to advise his brothers, "Not to forget that they were descended from 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster through his oldest son, 85.Eoghan Mor."  

    The Irish College of Surgeons was constructed this year on the site of an old Quaker Cemetery at St. Stephen's Green in Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster.

   Spencer Perceval now became the new British Imperial Conservative Tory Prime Minister of Britain until 1812 AD.

1810 AD The Catholic Committee now under the leadership of Daniel O Connell - the Liberator was by now made up mostly of "progressive" middle class people, who were to once again try and gain "normal reforms" for the population in Ireland from the Ascendancy British Imperial Conservative Tory Government for the Catholic Irish "majority" in Ireland.

    Agitation for the "Repeal of the Immoral Union" was begun by the Dublin Corporation, which was a non - Catholic body and Daniel O Connell - the Liberator once again also went on the attack to try and bring this about.   

   The Ascendancy British Imperial Conservative Tory Government, introduced the "Unlawful Oaths Act" to counteract the Irish Secret Societies that were by now "increasing" in response to the ongoing British Government's "religious, ethnic and Land Lord oppression" in Ireland, and due to this increased pressure, the British Imperial Government now decided to inform the Catholics in Ireland, that they would give them "some rights," providing they could also "veto" the Irish Catholic Bishops who were appointed by the Pope.

   Mary Tighe (1772 - 1810 AD) the authoress, died this year, at the Tighe families' Woodstock demesne, and she was interred in the Tighe mausoleum there, and an effigy of her was to be erected in the churchyard at Inistioge / Inis Teog in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster. 

1811 AD The Catholic Committee, who had been reconstituted under the leadership of Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, were now to be known as the "Catholic Board," and they were totally "against" any type of "religious veto" by the Ascendancy British Imperial Conservative Tory Government, as to the appointment of their Irish Catholic Bishops. 

July 12th: Purcell, who was from the confiscated Land Lord Estates at Burton Hall, on the outskirts of Churchtown in Co. Kerry, in the south - west of the Munster Province, was the "agent" there, who acted for the Percivals. the English Earls of Egmont, who were non - Catholic Land Lords, who were to eventually control over 90,000 acres of Irish land, as they where well connected to the German British Monarchy and although Purcell was 70 years of age he was still able to kill 5 of the "White Boys" with a knife, for which he was given a British "knighthood" by the Duke of Richmond.  

1812 AD The Catholic Board in Ireland, now broadened its base to hold "meetings," which were addressed by their leader, Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, and his second in charge, Richard Lalor - Shiel / Ua Siadhail a Unionist, and strong Catholic Emancipist supporter who would die in 1851 AD.  

    Knockalla Fort was constructed at Kerry Keel on Loch Swilly in Co. Donegal in the mid - west of Ulster Province, against any chance of attack by the French.

    The Second Anglo - American War began, when the British Imperial Conservative Tory Government blocked "American" trading ships going to France, so the America Government retaliated and invaded nearby Canada, which was still under British Imperial Government rule.

   The stronger Families in Ireland, who were firmly Irish Nationalist, were mostly Catholic, and by now they had become "stronger" in their outlook as they were now basically left "undisturbed" by the British Imperial Government's Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 Acre)  authorities. 

   Croke the Catholic Bishop of Cashel in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province, who had been born at Castlecor in Co. Cork in Southern Munster, founded the "Gaelic Athletic Association," which was to create a great turning point also for Irish National identity.

 July: The Catholic Emancipation issue, that was intended to consider the claims of the Catholic "majority" in Ireland, to have the right "to vote," was passed in the Westminster House of Commons in England, by 226 - 106 votes, which also included the "veto" over the Catholic Bishops as to their Catholic "religious" appointments, and Lord / Earl Liverpool, who now became the new British Ascendancy Conservative Tory Prime Minister until 1827 AD, took it upon himself to nevertheless "leave it over" to further discussion and Sir William Gregory was also to be appointed the British Imperial Conservative Tory Under - Secretary in Ireland until 1831 AD.

    Percy Shelley the poet who was now 19 years old was on a visit to Ireland and he was appalled by the "dreadful poverty" he could see throughout Ireland.              

1812 - 1818 AD During this period, Sir Robert Peel, who was 24 years of age, was to be the appointed British Imperial Ascendancy Conservative Tory Chief Secretary in Ireland, and Daniel O Connell - the Liberator" soon came into conflict with him, and due to Robert Peel's strong anti - Catholic bias, he was to knick name him "Orange Peel" and when John Magee, the editor of the Dublin Evening Post, published a "pro - Catholic" article Robert "Orange" Peel charged him with "Libel," which was defended by Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, and although John Magee was to lose, Daniel O Connell on this occassion was to find his "real calling" in life to the benefit of the whole of the population of Ireland. 

1813 AD February: The Catholic Emancipation Bill, previously "passed" in the Ascendancy Westminster Parliament in England, containing the "veto" over Catholic religious appointments was "lost" in the committee, when the Speaker, Charles Abbot allowed an amendment "to delete" the clause allowing Catholics the right to be represented in the Parliament, but the Catholic Bishops, "condemned" the Bill anyway, along with Daniel O Connell - the Liberator, for it containing the religious "veto" in the first place, although the "Vatican" had approved it.

    James Warren Doyle, became the Irish Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin in Southern Leinster, who was to be "highly respected" by all, including the Ascendancy British Imperial Conservative Tory Government and the Westminster Parliament who he was to "address" on the Irish Catholic "reform"" issues on many occasions.  

     A sign of terrible "sectarian conflict" that was to come in the Ulster Province, when the "12th of July Sectarian Riots" occurred for the "first time" in Belfast in Co. Antrim in the north - east of Ulster.

1814 AD June: As a further sign of blatant "outright bigotry," the Ascendancy British Imperial Conservative Tory Government now also "banned" the Catholic Board, and the subject of Catholic Emancipation was allowed to "disappear" altogether, and although the Catholic Association had been reformed to try and replace it to continue to gain their rights, they were now unable to accomplish anything more, due to the "hard - line" stance once again taken at this time by those in authority in the Ascendancy British Imperial Tory Government in England now once agin under the Earl of Liverpool.

     Sir Robert "Orange" Peel, the British Tory Chief Secretary in Ireland, was drafting a "Peace Preservation Force" / Royal Irish Constabulary / R.I.C., to be funded by a local rate charge in Ireland, towards police disturbance patrols under the British Imperial Government Coercion Act.

   Father Theobold Mathew, the future "Temperance" reformer was also born this year, and was to make a great contribution to the family life of the totally oppressed and depressed population in Ireland.

   The number of "emigrants" from the Catholic Irish population who were to go to the "United States of America," previously from 1780 AD, was still "not significant" up until this year, as previously they had "not been allowed" under British Law to emigrate to there before this date.

1815 AD From this year on, "bogs and mountains" in Ireland, where subdivided by "middlemen," and reclaimed and brought into production, just as the middlemen were on their "way out," and "excess tenants" were to be gone, with direct tenancies for 11 months "only" so as not to give any "security of tenure" to the "tenants" in Ireland, were now on the "increas" so that the Land Lords could "increase" the rents in the future,

     The English Earl of Kingston whose family had taken over the original confiscated territory of the Heberian Eoghanacht O Mahonys, altogether now had 3 Estates in Ireland, from which they were receiving 40,000 pounds a year in rentals on 75,000 acres in Co.

    Napoleon Bonaparte by now had made good his escape from Elba, and there was "great rejoicing" throughout Ireland, which upset the British Imperial Government's authorities in Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 Acre) in Ireland, and they wanted the British Military forces being removed to Flanders, to be left in Ireland to ensure that the Ascendancy continued their "overall control" over the Irish population.

     Daniel O Connell - the LIberator was to make comments about the conduct of the Dublin Castle Corporation authorities at this time and D' Esterre an anti - Catholic member of the Dublin Corporation challenged him to a duel on the hill above Lyons Castle at Newcastle in Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster, were Daniel O Connell was assisted by Major Mac Namara, while he was continuing on with his push for Catholic Emancipation in Ireland, and D' Esterre was killed and he was then to provide the "daughter" of D' Esterre with an annual grant for 30 years, and also defended the wife of D' Esterre in a legal action. He had done well to "survive," up to this point, as he also went close to having a duel with Robert "Orange" Peel after which the English anti - duelling Laws were enforced.

   Mary Aikenhead, who had become a Catholic in Ireland, when only 15 years of age, founded the "Congregation" of the Irish religious "Sisters of Charity," to try and help the poor and disadvantaged in the population in Ireland.

    Richard Alfred Milliken, the poet, who was born in 1767 AD, died this year.

    The Anglo - French War "ended," and there was once again peace with France, so Sir Robert "Orange" Peel the British Imperial Conservative Tory Government's Chief Secretary in Ireland, put forward a plan to "assist emigration" to Canada, but it was "not accepted" by the British Imperial Conservative Tory Cabinet in England, who believed firmly in the principal of laissez - faire (let the market rule) despite this the "shipping lanes" were open once again, and "mass migration" began as 20,000 people were now to migrate fromout of Ireland to "America" up until 1816 AD, with two thirds of these now being not only non - Catholic, but one third Catholic. Sir Robert Peel also put forward a proposal for a "state grant" for non - denominational education in Ireland, which the British Imperial Conservative Government accepted, and he was also able to lay the foundation for his idea of a Royal Irish Constabulary / R.I.C. in Ireland. (The original intention was to replace the Barony police, who had existed up until this period who were "not good types," as they were only paid one and sixpence halfpenny a week.) 

    Grain prices had "declined," and as a result of the continuing hardship a "reduction" in the "rent of the tenant farmers" in Ireland was now being called for.

1815 AD - 1824 AD During this period, "tilled land alone," was now "burdened" with the "enforced payment of the "Tithes" to the Ascendancy Church of England / Ireland, with 10 / - shillings / 1 dollar to be paid an Irish acre for "wheat and potatoes," and 7/6 / 75 cents an acre for "oats."

1815 AD - 1845 AD Farming practices "improved" in Ireland, with the "iron plough" replacing the wooden one, and "long handle scythes" relacing the sickle in harvesting, and dairy cattle breeding was improved also, with Hampshire and Berkshire boars also introduced into the "native pig" population, while sheep rearing "increased," along with the growing again of turnips to fatten them and Leicesters and South Down sheep were also introduced onto the small mountain breeds, which increased early maturity also, and also more cattle.

  The "yearly tenancy" only was from now also to be more "common," as the number of "small landholders" in Ireland had multiplied.
