The Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland was the head of the Exchequer of
Ireland and a member of the Dublin Castle administration under the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland in the Kingdom of Ireland. In early times the title was sometimes given
as Chancellor of the Green Wax. The Chancellor was an MP in the Irish House of
Commons.
The office was separate from the judicial role of Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer of
Ireland, although in the early centuries the two offices were often held by the same
person.
Although the Kingdom of Ireland merged with the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1801
under the Acts of Union 1800 to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, the Exchequer of Ireland did not merge with the Exchequer of Great Britain
until 1817. The last separate Chancellor of the Exchequer of Ireland was William
Vesey-FitzGerald.
