Ardfert
Ardfert () is a village in County Kerry, Ireland. Historically a religious centre, the economy of the locality is driven by agriculture and its position as a dormitory town, being only from Tralee. The population of the village was 749 at the 2016 census. Origin The village's name signifies, according to Sir James Ware (historian), James Ware, "a wonderful place on an eminence", or as some interpret it, ''"the hill of miracles."'' Ardfert has also been considered a corruption of Ard Ert, ''"the high place of Ert or Erc"'', so called after the fifth century Irish Bishop Saint Erc, who made the place a bishop's seat.

Member Of Parliament
A member of parliament (MP) is the representative in parliament of the people who live in their electoral district. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this term refers only to members of the lower house since upper house members often have a different title. The terms congressman/congresswoman or deputy are equivalent terms used in other jurisdictions. The term parliamentarian is also sometimes used for members of parliament, but this may also be used to refer to unelected government officials with specific roles in a parliament and other expert advisers on parliamentary procedure such as the Senate Parliamentarian in the United States. The term is also used to the characteristic of performing the duties of a member of a legislature, for example: "The two party leaders often disagreed on issues, but both were excellent parliamentarians and cooperated to get many good things done." Members of parliament typically form parliamentary groups, sometimes called caucuse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Henry Rose (Irish Politician)
Henry Rose (1675-1743) was an Irish politician and judge of the eighteenth century. He was born at Morgans in County Limerick, younger son of George Rose of Morgans North, and grandson of Thomas Rose, who was Mayor of Limerick in 1695. Thomas had emigrated to Ireland from Devon in the late seventeenth century and acquired the Morgans estate. Henry was educated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, entered the Inner Temple in 1696 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1701. He sat in the Irish House of Commons for many years as member for Ardfert. He was considered one of the most effective Parliamentarians of his day, and almost always spoke and voted against the Government. Given his record of opposition, his appointment as a justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) in 1734 caused some surprise, although he had been counsel to the Revenue Commissioners since 1722. He probably owed the first appointment to his friendship with William Conolly, the long-serving Speaker of the Commons. He wen ...
