Abstract

In a previous article, the present writer considered the process whereby ladies were admitted into the House of Lords and concluded that the draftsman of the Life Peerages Act 1958 had, intentionally or otherwise, made a hereditary peeress of every life peeress who has taken her seat. In that article a cursory mention was made of the Irish peers and their unsuccessful attempt to revive their representation in the House of Lords; but more careful consideration of their position has suggested that their exclusion may not be as final as some writers on the subject have hitherto assumed.
