This article examines the attempts to establish a statutory militia force in post-revolutionary Ireland, which finally came to fruition in 1716. It argues that the process tells us much about the way the Irish parliament conducted its business in this period, as well as revealing a great deal about Protestant mentalities and relationships. The Irish parliament is shown to be a fractious yet adaptable institution, in which successful business depended upon the active support of a multitude of factions. The Anglican elite appear as a quietly confident minority, although the crisis of the Hanoverian succession excited unprecedented concern. Meanwhile relations between this group and the Presbyterian minority are revealed as at best indifferent
