Ireland's Tax Burden and Demand for Relief in Parliament
Debates on Ireland's tax system and the extension of habeas corpus measures. Sir John Newport outlines Ireland's heavy loads since the Union, comparing past periods of glory with present distress, citing declines in woollens, leather, and wine imports, and noting deficits in customs and excise. Advocates urge tax relief, equalization with Britain, and inquiry into fiscal policy while acknowledging Britain’s broader war taxes and Ireland’s strained finances.
