. Irish peerages continued to be created for almost a century after the Union, although the treaty of Union placed restrictions on their numbers: three needed to become extinct before a new peerage could be granted, until there were only 100 Irish peers - a condition still not achieved. There was a spate of creations of Irish peerages from 1797 onwards, mostly peerages of higher ranks for existing Irish peers, as part of the negotiation of the Act of Union; this ended in the first week of January 1801, but the restrictions of the Act were not applied to the last few peers. Irish peerages were created in the early nineteenth century at least as often as the Act permitted, but the pace then slowed. The last two to be granted were the promotion of the Marquess of Abercorn, a United Kingdom peerage, to be Duke of Abercorn
Duke of Abercorn

Peers of Ireland have precedence below Peers of England, Scotland, and Great Britain of the same, and above Peers of the United Kingdom of the same rank; but Irish peers created after 1801 yield to United Kingdom peers of earlier creation.
Accordingly, the Duke of Abercorn (the junior Duke in the Peerage of Ireland) ranks between the Duke of Sutherland and the Duke of Westminster (both Dukes in the Peerage of the United Kingdom).
