Roman Catholic Relief Act 1793 relieves
Catholics of certain political, educational and economic disabilities:[1] they may now vote, enter the legal professions and hold certain public offices. They are also, under the
Militia Act of 1793, permitted to
bear arms; and both Roman Catholics and Protestant Dissenters are permitted to enter
Trinity College Dublin (but the Catholic Church generally dissuades the former from doing so). Any man renting or owning land worth at least forty
shillings (the equivalent of two
Pounds Sterling), is granted the franchise, creating a class of
Forty Shilling Freeholders.
Construction commences on the first bridge across the
River Suir at
Waterford, built by the
American Lemuel Cox in wood.
Ruaidhrí Ó Flaithbheartaigh (Roderic O'Flaherty)'s semi-mythical history of Ireland, Ogygia: seu Rerum Hibernicarum Chronologia & etc. (
1685), is for the first time translated into English (by Rev. James Hely) and published as Ogygia, or a Chronological account of Irish Events, collected from Very Ancient Documents faithfully compared with each other & supported by the Genealogical & Chronological Aid of the Sacred and Profane Writings of the Globe.
