A Second Convention of Dungannon, Prepares the Way for a National Volunteer Convention

September 08, 1783

A Second Convention of Dungannon is held by the Ulster Volunteers — part of the Irish Volunteer movement — to discuss parliamentary reform and national political issues. The gathering plays a key role in mobilizing support across Ireland, and lays the groundwork for a National Volunteer Convention focused on achieving greater representation and legislative reform in the Irish Parliament. This convention reflects the growing influence of the Volunteers in late 18th-century Irish political life.
