Irish House of Lords

Okay, so in a very long time ago in Ireland, there were some important people who made decisions about the country. They were called the Irish House of Lords.

Now, imagine you and your friends are deciding what game to play on the playground. Sometimes, it's hard to agree on what game to play, right? The Irish House of Lords were kind of like that, but instead of deciding what game to play, they made important decisions about their whole country!

People who were in the Irish House of Lords were usually very rich or really important in their communities. They would talk about different things that were happening in Ireland and then make decisions about what to do next.

Eventually, though, the Irish House of Lords stopped meeting because things in Ireland changed a lot over time. But it's still an important part of Ireland's history!
