Editing Acts of Union 1800 (section)

==Name==
Two acts were passed in 1800 with the same [[long title]]: ''An Act for the Union of Great Britain and Ireland''. The [[short title]] of the act of the British Parliament is '''Union with Ireland Act 1800''' ([[39 & 40 Geo. 3]]. c. 67), assigned by the [[Short Titles Act 1896]]. The short title of the act of the Irish Parliament is '''Act of Union (Ireland) 1800''' (40 Geo. 3. c. 38 (I)), assigned by a 1951 act of the [[Parliament of Northern Ireland]], and hence not effective in the Republic of Ireland, where it was referred to by its long title when repealed in 1962.
