“…III, said that, 'it is become in some sort fashionable to scout a certain once favourite toast'. 90 In 1789 William Drennan was toasting the king and the prince of Wales, 91 yet two years later, when the Whigs of the Capital, a radical Dublin club, toasted the house of Brunswick, it was only the prince regent who was specifically mentioned by name. 92 Replacements for William III and George III were easily found, as the United Irishmen introduced new revolutionary heroes from France and Poland to the toasting lexicon.…”

Powell, M. (2006). Political Toasting in Eighteenth-Century Ireland. History (The Journal of the Historical Association). 91 (304), 508-529. RAE2008Within clubs and societies, and at dinners and taverns all over Ireland, the toast was often the central part of the evening's entertainment. Its importance lies in the symbolism inherent in eighteenth-century alcohol consumption. In Ireland, as in England and America, the toast frequently had political implications, and therefore as a ritualistic form of consumption it deserves close study. This article explores the importance of the toast in eighteenth-century Irish political life, looking at shifts in the nature and emphasis of toasting, strains of political thought contained within toasts, and the role of the toast in the formation of varieties of Protestant patriotic identity. It is argued that the toast had a complex impact upon those present, creating an additional degree of unity and resolve, a collective bonhomie, and an awareness of a shared past and a common set of goals in the present. Toasts, however, also had an impact upon the wider political community through publication in newspapers, supplied either by those present or the organizers of the meeting or the dinner. These toasts were avidly 'consumed' and then reused by a patriotic population. Thus, toasting moved from private to public and became a convenient means of broadcasting a strongly held political belief, and of encouraging support amongst the watching, and indeed reading, populace.Peer reviewe

“…135 If this is true, they were certainly the exception rather than the rule, and at the beginning of 1797 one of Lord Charlemont's Whig correspondents complained that 'our Irish opposition has dwindled to nothing'. 136 By way of illustrating this last comment it may be useful to draw attention to a rather bizarre footnote to the Regency Crisis. In the summer of 1797 the prince of Wales expressed a wish to travel to Ireland with the intention of doing 'justice to the ill-used Irish'.…”

The Regency Crisis that proceeded from the apparent insanity of George III in October 1788 has a twofold importance in Irish political history. In an Anglo-Irish context, it can be argued that this episode crucially accelerated the hardening of British opinion in support of a political union with Ireland, and therefore marked a stage in the long ‘prelude to union’. But the Regency Crisis was also significant in purely domestic terms. Its consequences for the development of Irish parliamentary politics form the central concern of this article, the primary object of which is to analyse the course of events in Ireland and especially the evolving motives of the key individuals and factions in opposition between November 1788 and March 1789. The process not only made for intrinsically thrilling political drama; the ‘opposition’ response to the machinations of government on this issue paved the way for the advent of an Irish Whig party that was to transform the balance of power in the Irish parliament during the course of its final decade.
