The Volunteers (also known as the Irish Volunteers) were local militias raised by local initiative in Ireland in 1778. Their original purpose was to guard against invasion and to preserve law and order at a time when British soldiers were withdrawn from Ireland to fight abroad during the American Revolutionary War and the government failed to organise its own militia. Taking advantage of Britain's preoccupation with its rebelling American colonies, the Volunteers were able to pressure Westminster into conceding legislative independence to the Dublin parliament.

rdfs:comment	Die Irish Volunteers waren eine Bürgerwehr des späten 18. Jahrhunderts in Irland. Die Volunteers wurden im Jahr 1778 in Belfast gegründet, um Irland gegen eine feindliche Invasion zu schützen, nachdem ein Großteil der regulären britischen Soldaten im Zuge des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs aus Irland abgezogen worden war. Die Volunteers waren jedoch niemals der Regierung unterstellt und obwohl sie anfangs loyal gegenüber der englische Krone gewesen waren, wurden sie schnell von politischen irischen Kräften beherrscht. Schon 1779 hatten die Volunteers unter Lord Charlemont über 100.000 Mitglieder.

Elle fut fondée à Belfast en 1778, afin de défendre l'Irlande contre une éventuelle invasion étrangère, à un moment où les troupes britanniques avaient été retirées du pays pour combattre les colonies américaines révoltées. Les Volontaires ne furent cependant pas commandés par des fonctionnaires gouvernementaux, et bien qu'ils fussent à l'origine fidèles à la Couronne, ils furent bientôt infiltrés par des politiciens radicaux. En 1779, les Volontaires, commandés par Lord Charlemont, comptaient plus de 100 000 hommes. (fr)
