Indemnity for magistrates and new Insurrection Acts empowered searches arrests and fleet transfer, driving many to resistance and spurring the formation of a Protestant Yeomanry and the armed United Irishmen. The French expedition near Bantry Bay, failed due to weather and miscoordination, but the era left Ireland under a network of arbitrary power beyond the law.
