I am fascinated at the moment by 19th century Ireland, but need a few
things answered

1. How true is this - "By the mid 19th century, the Lord Lieutenant's
role changed substantially. Though still the official representative
of the sovereign, the day to day role of governing fell to the Chief
Secretary for Ireland, who was in effect the prime minister of the
British administration in Ireland. Many nineteenth century Lords
Lieutenant were not even nominally members of the British Cabinet,
while the supposedly more junior Chief Secretary usually was."

2. Who were the historical Lord Lieutenants, and who were their Chief
Secretaries ? And how did the historical balance always work out ?

3. Was there a law to prevent the Lord Lieutenant being a Catholic ?
Or to prevent him being an Irish nob ?

4. In the twentieth century was there a change in the relationship, in
how the Lord Lieutenant was viewed ?

5. By 1916 who occupied the positions, as well as the military ones,
what was their relationship to one-another, and why were they there,
why did they have the power that they had, and within the Cabinet how
much power did the 1916 Chief Secretary have ?
