County Armagh, Ireland, was represented in the Irish House of Commons, the house of representatives of the Kingdom of Ireland, by a county constituency of two MPs until the abolition of the Irish Parliament on 1 January 1801.[1][2] The parliamentary boroughs of Armagh and Charlemont were separately represented.[3]
Under the Acts of Union 1800, the county was represented by the Westminster constituency of County Armagh with two MPs in the United Kingdom House of Commons.[4] Charlemont lost its separate representation.
