Particularly when tis not too late. (Byron)
I like the taxes, when they are not too many. (Byron)
In the first line that word like gives only a slight hint of irony. Parliamentary debates are usually long. The word debate itself suggests a long discussion. A hint of the interplay between positive and negative begins with like.
The second use of the word like is definitely ironical. No one would be expected to like taxes. Its so obvious like. The attribute phrase when they are not too many strengthens the irony.
Irony is generally used to convey a negative meaning. Therefore only positive concepts are used to convey a negative meaning. The contextual meaning always conveys the negation of the positive concepts embodies in the dictionary meaning.
Sorcastic irony is a mask of innocence and ignorance adopted to win an argument.
Dramatic irony is a double vision of what is happening in a play or real life situation.
