Baron HolmPatrick

Baron HolmPatrick, of HolmPatrick in the County of Dublin,[1] is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in the 1897 Diamond Jubilee Honours for the Lord Lieutenant of County Dublin and former Member of Parliament for County Dublin, Ion Hamilton. Both his father, James Hans Hamilton, and grandfather, Hans Hamilton, had represented this constituency in the British Parliament.[2]

From 1991 to 2024 the title is held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father. He was active on the Labour benches in the House of Lords prior to the House of Lords Act 1999 but the House of Lords website shows him as a Conservative.

The family seat was Abbotstown House, near Castleknock, County Dublin.[2]
