They thought it was pretty grim to be honest. The British didn't like to give Ireland anything without a price.

But they did grant them Emancipation (even though it was already promised along side the Act of Union). And wait! There was a price. The franchise qualification in Ireland was raised from a 40-shilling freehold to a £10 household suffrage. SO in the end, Emancipation really made no difference to the poor Catholics. Was a nice novelty though. =D
