Irish Convention (1660)

The Irish Convention was an Irish representative assembly which met in Dublin several times in early 1660, immediately prior to the Stuart Restoration, and again in January 1661. The Convention sought to represent Protestant interests in Ireland, including the restoration of the monarchy and episcopacy, and also the right for the King's Irish Parliament to tax and legislate for itself, rejecting claims of legislative supremacy by the English Parliament.
