has gloss | eng: The Irish House of Commons was the lower house of the Parliament of Ireland, that existed from 1297 until 1800. The upper house was the House of Lords. The membership of the House of Commons was directly elected, but on a highly restrictive franchise: in counties forty shilling freeholders were enfranchised whilst in most boroughs it was either only the members of self electing corporations or a highly restricted body of freemen that were able to vote for the borough's representatives. Most notably, Roman Catholics were disqualified from sitting in the Irish parliament from 1691, even though they comprised the vast majority of the Irish population. From 1728 until 1793 they were also disfranchised. Most of the population of all religions had no vote. |

has gloss | gle: Ba é Teach na gComóntach teach íochtarach Pharlaimint na hÉireann, a bhí ann ón bhliain 1297 go dtí 1800. Teach na dTiarnaí ba ea an teach uachtarach . Bhí ballraíocht Theach na gComóntach tofa go díreach, ach ar saincheadúnais an-sriantach: i gContaetha bhí cead vótála ann don shaorshealbhóir daichead scilling, ag an am céanna i mbuirgí, den chuid is mó, ba iad comhaltaí chorparáidí féintofa nó saorfhir de chuid na cathrach a bhí in ann vótáil ar son na Comhairle Buirge. Go háirithe, bhí Caitlicigh Rómhánacha dícháilithe le haghaidh suíocháin a ghlacadh sa Pharlaimint ón bhliain 1691, fiú is gur chuimsigh siad formhór daonra na tíre. |
