Aithrí Phiarais Mhic Gearailt

[The Act] to prevent ‘the further growth of popery’ made it obligitory on converts from catholicism to protestantism to provide proof of conformity. A protestant, according to this Act, was a member of the Church of Ireland only. The legal disabilities in relation to property, professions, etc., imposed on the catholic by the Act, ceased to operate when he became a protestant . . . [Elaine Byrne, The Convert Rolls, 1981, vii]
