Poynings' Law or the Statute of Drogheda (10 Hen.7 c.4 (Irish Statutes'' numbering ) or 10 Hen.7 c.9 (Hibernica'' numbering ); later titled "An Act that no Parliament be holden in this Land until the Acts be certified into England") was a 1494 Act of the Parliament of Ireland which provided that the parliament could not meet until its proposed legislation had been approved both by Ireland's Lord Deputy and Privy Council and by England's monarch and Privy Council. It was a major grievance in 18th-century Ireland, was amended by the Constitution of 1782, rendered moot by the Acts of Union 1800, and repealed by the Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act, 1878. ==Ambiguous name== The name "Poynings' Law" is ambiguous; it may refer to: * the complete statute or set of statutes passed by Poynings' Parliament, a Parliament of Ireland summoned by Sir Edward Poynings that met at Drogheda in 1494–95 (a time period referred to as 10 Hen.7; i.e. the 10th regnal year of king Henry VII of England) * in particular, either of two chapters (in modern parlance, Acts of Parliament) giving the Kingdom of England legislative power over Ireland. An additional confusion is that the chapter numbers vary between different sources; ''The Irish Statutes'' has smaller numbers than ''Analecta Hibernica''. The two chapters are: * * chapter 4 / 9 (10 Hen.7 c.4 / 10 Hen.7 c.9; later titled "An Act that no Parliament be holden in this Land until the Acts be certified into England") the usual meaning for historians, and the one used in this article * * chapter 22 / 39 (10 Hen.7 c.22 / 10 Hen.7 c.39; later titled "An Act confirming all the Statutes made in England") which gave all statutes "late made" by the Parliament of England the force of law in Ireland. This statute has two short titles: * * *Poynings' Law in Northern Ireland,〔Short Titles Act (Northern Ireland) 1951〕 where it remains in force. * * *Poynings' Act, 1495〔Short Titles Act 1962〕 in the Republic of Ireland, where it was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 2007, without thereby repealing the English statutes it referred to, a few of which remain in force.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seanad debates )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poynings' Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
