After putting "Irish Penal Laws" in the search engine, this website came up for me. LAWS IN Ireland FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF POPERY commonly known as the PENAL LAWS From the consolidation of English power in 1691 until well into the nineteenth century, religion was the gulf which divided the colonial rulers of Ireland from the native majority. This sectarian division resulted from deliberate government policy. It reached into political, economic, and personal life, through a series of statutes known as the Penal Laws. This site contains the texts of these laws. Much additional information was included, of course.

There were restrictions on what a women could wear but they were not dervied from Irish custom which actually afforded women greater equality than other parts of Europe. Women in Ireland could divorce their husbands and claim inheritance directly. The restrictions mentioned were the Poynings laws and were introduced into colonial Ireland with the purpose of stopping the Irish wear their traditional dresses etc. It also restricted such things as the right of an Irish person to own a horse over a certain value. Such laws sought to repalce the Irish (Gaelic) Brehon laws, with their matriarchical tint, with anglo-saxon law.
