Plan[edit]

I have a cunning plan ;) What about telling the reader from which time [i]to which time[/i] each lieutenancy exists / [i]existed[/i]? --VM 08:02, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it is done. The list is still missing some such as Lord-Lieutenant of the Isle of Purbeck though. Owain 10:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

More to the point I think we need something to explain the mass changes in 1922, 1974 and 1975Alci12 11:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article name[edit]

I propose moving / renaming this article to Lists of Lords-Lieutenant, as the correct plural form. Alternatively, Lists of Lord-Lieutenancies as per the category. Comments, please. Ian Cairns 15:51, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking further, I think the Lists of Lord-Lieutenancies reflects the purpose of the article better. Ian Cairns 16:31, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland[edit]

I wonder how long the boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry have had Lord Lieutenants. If it is before 1922, it points to perhaps the other county boroughs in Ireland having had separate Lord Lieutenants - these would be Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford.

Haddingtonshire and East Lothian[edit]

Currently, we have them listed separately, as though they had separate Lord Lieutenants. This seems unlikely, since they're the same place... john k 05:46, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Southern Ireland?[edit]

Is that a good subheading name?: it's certainly anachronistic. These lieutenancies were in the Ireland, plain and simple (as were the northern ones till 1922). Southern Ireland was to have been a creation of the Government of Ireland Act, but it never came to pass. When the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland became the Governor of Northern Ireland there was noone to exercise the royal prerogative and appoint lieutenats in the the (then) Free State.

Perhaps "rest of Ireland"? I've been splitting also the category Category:Lord Lieutenancies, and don't think Category:Lord Lieutenancies of the rest of Ireland would work? Morwen - Talk 15:31, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I suppose you could put the six counties and two county boroughs in 2 cats: LLs of Ni and LLs of Ireland, along with the rest?Lozleader 16:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hit on using Category:Former lieutenancies of Ireland: there are no former Lieutenancies in the North, which makes life easier. Morwen - Talk 09:49, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That works much better.Lozleader 10:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
