Clonmel was a United Kingdom Parliament constituency in Ireland, returning one MP from 1801 to 1885. It was represented in Parliament when the Union of Great Britain and Ireland took effect on 1 January 1801.

History

The corporation of Clonmel, which was the local government of its area, was reformed by the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840. The parliamentary borough was not affected by this change in administrative arrangements.

Samuel Lewis, writing in 1837, described the oligarchic constitution of the unreformed borough. Шаблон:Blockquote

The constituency was disenfranchised under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, which took effect at the 1885 general election.

Boundaries

This constituency was the parliamentary borough of Clonmel in County Tipperary.

The boundary of the borough was defined in the Parliamentary Boundaries (Ireland) Act 1832 as:

Under the Representation of the People (Ireland) Act 1868, its boundaries were extended to include the whole the municipal borough.
