In a recent Privy Council meeting at Dublin Castle, under the leadership of the Lord Lieutenant, a significant development took place. All remaining proclamations that fell under the third and fourth clauses of the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act were officially revoked. These sections of the act pertained to the alteration of trial venues for criminal cases within the Act’s provisions and the establishment of special juries for such matters.

The Order in Council marked a decisive step taken by the new government. Proclamations under these clauses were lifted for multiple counties and boroughs, including Cavan, Clare, Cork County, Cork County Borough, Dublin County Borough, Galway, King’s County, Leitrim, Limerick County, Limerick County Borough, Longford, Mayo, Queen’s County, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary, Waterford County, Waterford County Borough, and Westmeath. This action reflects a shift in the government’s approach and a signal of its evolving stance on legal procedures in Ireland.
