 The then Royal College of Science The Senate of Southern Ireland assembled there in June 1921. The Senate of Southern Ireland (1921-1922) was the upper house of the Parliament of Southern Ireland theoretically established by the 1920 Government of Ireland Act. The Senate convened in 1921 but was boycotted by Irish nationalists. Only fifteen members attended its first meeting and it only met on two further occasions. It was formally abolished with the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922.

Composition
The Government of Ireland Act provided for a Senate of 61: - The Lord Chancellor of Ireland (who would be chairman).
- Fifteen Peers of the Realm resident in Southern Ireland (elected by a constituency of all Southern Ireland peers).
- Eight privy councillors (elected by all members of the Privy Council of Southern Ireland).
- Two representatives of the Church of Ireland.
- Two representatives of the Catholic Church.
- Fourteen individuals nominated by the Lord Lieutenant.
- Two individuals nominated by the Lord Lieutenant upon consulation with the labour movement.
- Seventeen individuals elected by members of the county councils (divided into a number of geographical constituencies).
In practice, however, only forty senators were selected, as the labour movement, the Catholic Church and the county councils (controlled by Sinn Féin) refused to cooperate1.
