Henry Flood was an Irish statesman and orator. He was born in 1732 near Dublin and died in 1791. He was a friend of Grattan, whom afterwards he opposed, and entered the Irish Parliament as MP for Kilkenny in 1759, a seat he exchanged for Callan in the following year. He was privy-councillor for Great Britain as well as for Ireland in 1775, vice-treasurer for Ireland from 1775 to 1781. In 1783 he had a personal dispute in the house with Grattan, when a remarkable display of the power of invective was made on both sides. He afterwards became a member of the British parliament. His speeches and some poetical pieces have been published. Research Henry Flood
Armagh is a county in Northern Ireland (Ulster) surrounded by Monaghan, Tyrone, Lough Neagh, Down, and Lowth. The north-west of the county is undulating and fertile. The northern part, bordering on Lough Neagh, consists principally of extensive bogs. On the southern border is a range of barren hills. The chief rivers are the Blackwater, which separates it from Tyrone; the Upper Bann, which discharges itself into Lough Neagh; and the Callan, which falls into the Blackwater. There are several small lakes. The county was traditionally associated with the manufacture of linen.
