Dungannon Resolution

The Dungannon Resolution, passed in 1782, was a significant event in Irish history where the Irish Parliament asserted its independence from British rule. This resolution arose from growing dissatisfaction with British governance and aims to limit British control over Irish affairs. It declared that the Irish Parliament would no longer be subject to decisions made by the British Parliament, thereby establishing greater legislative autonomy for Ireland. This resolution marked a key moment in Ireland's push for self-governance and was part of the broader movement towards Irish nationalism.
