The Toleration Act 1719 (6 Geo. 1. c. 5 (I)) was an act of the Parliament of Ireland exempting Protestant dissenters from certain restrictions. That meant that Presbyterians had practical freedom of religion.The Oxford Companion to Irish History, p. 459.
Subsequent developments The whole act, except sections 4–8 and 14–16, was repealed by section 1 of, and part II of schedule three to, the Promissory Oaths Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48), which came into force on 13 July 1871.
Section 8 of the act was repealed by section 1(1) of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1950 (14 Geo. 6. c. 6), which came into force on 23 May 1950.
