Members of the 3rd UK Parliament from Ireland

2nd Parliament (1802)
3rd Parliament (1806)
4th Parliament (1807)

This is a list of the MPs for Irish constituencies, who were elected at the United Kingdom general election, 1806, to serve as Members of the 3rd UK Parliament from Ireland, or who were elected at subsequent by-elections. There were 100 seats representing Ireland in this Parliament.

This was the second United Kingdom general election, as the House of Commons of the 1st Parliament was chosen from the members of the Parliament of Great Britain and the Parliament of Ireland and not by a popular election.

The 3rd United Kingdom Parliament was elected between 29 October 1806 and 17 December 1806, as at this period the exact date for the election in each constituency was fixed by the Returning Officer. The Parliament first assembled on 13 December 1806, for a maximum duration of seven years from that date. It was dissolved on 29 April 1807 (a length of four month and sixteen days - the shortest UK Parliament ever).

Summary of Results by Party (Ireland only)

The names of and votes for candidates at elections are based on Walker. Party labels are based on those used by Stooks Smith and may differ from those in other sources. Many early nineteenth century Irish MPs are not classified by party, by Stooks Smith.

In some cases, when a party label is used for the MP by Stooks Smith in a subsequent Parliament, this is noted in the Members list below.

At the dissolution of the 2nd Parliament, the MPs by party (calculated as above), were

Tory 43, Whig 31, Other (unclassified) 26: Total 100.

The summary results of the 1806 general election, in Ireland, were as follows.

Members by constituency

The list is given in alphabetical order by constituency. The County prefixes used for county constituencies is disregarded in determining alphabetical order, but the county follows any borough or city constituency with the same name.

The name of an MP who served during the Parliament, but who was not the holder of a seat at the dissolution in 1807, is given in italics. When the date of the election is in italics, this indicates a by-election.

A member of the 2nd Parliament, for the same constituency, is indicated by an * before the MPs name. A member of the 2nd Parliament, for a different constituency in Ireland, is indicated by a + before the MPs name.
