Sunday Observance Act 1695 edit

  • ... that the Sunday Observance Act 1695 banned the playing of sports on Sunday in Ireland and parts of it are still in force in Northern Ireland? Source: BBC
  • Reviewed: Ryan Watts (politician)
  • Comment: I'm OK with dropping the still in force part if people feel it's better without that

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just the one issue, but it isn't worth holding up. SounderBruce 04:48, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Just to put your mind at ease, yes it isn't in the BBC source but it is in the PSNI source further down. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:38, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
