Roman Catholic Relief Act 1793
The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1793 was a law of the Irish Parliament, passed under pressure from the British government, that gave Catholics the vote in parliamentary elections on the same terms as Protestants and opened most civil and military offices to them. Catholics remained barred from sitting in Parliament until Catholic emancipation in 1829.
