The Militia (Ireland) Act 1809 (49 Geo. 3. c. 120) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated enactments related to the militia in Ireland.
Repealed enactments Section 1 of the act repealed 9 enactments, listed in that section. The repeal did not affect the operation of any of the repealed acts so far as they repealed a former act or acts of Parliament, any proceeding for the punishment of an offence committed against any of the repealed acts before the commencement of this act, or the validity of any commission, deputation, appointment or enrolment of an officer, non-commissioned officer, drummer or private made under the repealed acts, all of which continued in full force and effect, with every person so commissioned or enrolled continuing to serve in the militia, as if this act had not been passed.
