After Irish independence in 1922 the office was still functioning and working out of [[Dublin Castle]]. The last Ulster King of Arms was [[Nevile Wilkinson|Sir Nevile Rodwell Wilkinson]] [Ulster King of Arms 1908–1940], who held it until his death in 1940. At the Irish government's request, no new King of Arms was appointed. [[Thomas Sadleir|Thomas Ulick Sadleir]], the Deputy Ulster King of Arms, then became the Acting Ulster King of Arms. He served until the office was merged with that of [[Norroy King of Arms]] in 1943 and stayed on until 1944 to clear up the backlog.[[File:Coat of arms of Sir Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, KG.png|thumb|upright=0.55|Coat of arms of Sir Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, KG]]An earlier [[Ireland King of Arms]] was created by [[King Richard II]] in 1392 and discontinued by [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]] in 1487. It did not grant many coats of arms – the few it did grant were annulled by the other Kings of Arms because they encroached upon their jurisdictions. Its purpose was supposedly to marshal an expedition to fully conquer Ireland that never materialized. Since 1 April 1943 the authority has been split between the [[Republic of Ireland]] and [[Northern Ireland]]. Heraldry in the Republic of Ireland is regulated by the [[Government of Ireland]], by the [[Genealogical Office]] through the Office of the [[Chief Herald of Ireland]]. Heraldry in Northern Ireland is regulated by the [[British Government]] by the [[College of Arms]] through the [[Norroy and Ulster King of Arms]].
