On the death of the 8th Earl of Barrymore the Earldom of Barrymore became extinct, and the Viscountcy of Buttevant (if it ever existed) and the Barony of Barry probably also became extinct. However, the extinction of the Earldom of Barrymore was acted upon as one of the three used, in accordance with the Act of Union, for the creation of the Viscountcy of Guillamore. Had the Viscountcy of Buttevant (or any other Irish peerage which was held at the time of the Union by the then Earl) continued, the Earldom would not have been such an extinction as could have been used for a new creation. This point was decided (as regarding the Earldom of Mountrath and the Barony of Castle Coote, which, at the time of the Union, were united) at the creation of the Barony of Fermoy in 1856.
