This was a short name given to the anti-Roman Catholic laws passed by the all-Protestant parliament of Ireland from 1691 onwards. The laws were extremely oppressive and their effects on Roman Catholics in Ireland were devastating. In the 18th century they were not always enforced to the letter, but they led to widespread destitution and ignorance among most of the Roman Catholic population in Ireland. Joncey
