Irish office

I doubt the end date of 1949 for the Irish office of Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper. This happens to be the date of the Ireland Act 1949. Obviously nothing so piffling as the abolition of this office is in the text of the Act itself, but it might conceivably have been effected by some consequent order. Considering Irish representative peers were not elected after 1922, and the Courts of Justice Act 1924 abolished the remaining vestiges of Chancery, it seems likely that in practice it was obsolete by 1924 at the latest, though something might have migrated to Belfast. jnestorius(talk) 13:08, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

A Google search turns up a result from The Irish Press of 9 October 1939 referring to "Mr Gerald Horan, Master of the High Court, who was Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper from 1914 until the abolition of the office". Horan's notice in Who Was Who (vol. iv, p. 561) says he held the post from 1915 until 1921. As the clerk was also Permanent Secretary to the Lord Chancellor (as in England) I assume they would have been abolished at the same time. Opera hat (talk) 13:29, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
I've updated the section after further Googling. Gerald Horan died in 1949, so maybe there was some WP:OR that the office died with him. jnestorius(talk) 14:30, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
