The Act of Union in 1800 gave Ireland representation in the house of commons in British parliament. I'm pretty sure it gave 106 MPs for the whole island. This gave the Irish political representation in the house of commons, although it eliminated any chance of having a government on Irish soil. Hence the Home Rule bill.
As for its position the Act of Union more or less made Ireland a state of England in the same way Scotland and Wales are. There was no longer Britain and Ireland. There was no 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. This remained that way until 1927!
Britain now had complete control over Ireland in all shapes and forms. Although the Viceroy (person in charge of looking after Ireland) was often absent and the country was run quite badly in comparison to mainland England.

How did the British benefit from such a huge empire?
The British, in spreading Christianity & Cricket to the world, became the most commercially powerful nation on earth. Those were the days ! It remains my opinion, however, thet the British disposal of Empire has been handled as well as any. The British, generally speaking, are regarded internationally, as not a bad lot. I cite the position of Mozambique, never part of the Empire, well not Britains' Empire anyway, which joined the Commonwealth. And it's the Commonwealth which remains as Britains achievement in History.
