Parliament Limits Sought by Dublin Craft Guilds in 1767
In July 1767 Dublin guilds urged Parliament to fix parliamentary duration, denouncing unlimited terms as hostile to Protestant power. They planned to instruct their local representative Dr. Charles Lucas and to petition Parliament through city officials for a constitutional law limiting session length. A Galway meeting echoed the demand to instruct representatives on the issue.
