Peer Review[edit]

Mine as well gauge some interest, and some ideas. --User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:58, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty certain that my mother told me that Plunkett has now joined Saint Finian as the second patron Saint of the diocese of Meath. And if she said it, you can be certain it's true. Don't have a book, though! ;-)

Year of birth confusion[edit]

I'm getting confused. This site says Oliver Plunkett was born on "November 1, 1625", while the other site says he was born on September ll, 1629. Which birth date is correct? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 14:56, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Test Act in 1673[edit]

As far as I know the test act was never introduced to Ireland in 1673. A proclamation was made that year in Ireland banishing catholic bishops and regular clergy and for the closure of catholic religious houses and schools. Westminster did not legislate for Ireland in this period. Can anyone verify that the test act was extended to Ireland in 1673 from a reliable source? No mention of it on Plunkett's page on the DIB for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.141.47.113 (talk) 20:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kangaroo court[edit]

"The second trial was claimed to be a kangaroo court" - it seems unlikely that this expression was much used in 1681, 89 years before the discovery of Australia. Can we have a source for this assertion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.10.15 (talk) 04:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Protestant sentiment[edit]

This article reads as a cross between anti-protestant diatribe and hagiography. The content about the trial needs to be removed from the lead, and the article needs to explain why he was executed from the English perspective. Essentially, his life, works and execution need to evaluated WP:NPOV neutrally. --He to Hecuba (talk) 18:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
