County Dublin was a constituency represented in the Irish House of Commons until its abolition in 1801.
History
County Dublin was represented by two MPs in the Irish House of Commons. It had a comparatively low electorate of c. 1,200 to 1,500 voters around the time of the Union.[1] The parliamentary boroughs of Dublin City, Newcastle and Swords had separate representation, as did Dublin University, which was located in the city.
The Irish House of Commons was abolished on 1 January 1801 under the Acts of Union 1800. The constituency was succeeded by the Westminster constituency of County Dublin, remaining as a two-seat constituency.[2]
