The Treason (Ireland) Act 1821 (1 & 2 Geo 4 c 24) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It extended most of the English Treason Act 1695 to Ireland. Previously the 1695 Act only applied to England and Scotland (having been extended to Scotland in 1708).
The whole Act was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by the Statute Law Revision Act 1983.[3]
