North Cork (UK Parliament constituency)

North Cork, a division of County Cork, was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, represented in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. From 1885 to 1922 it returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Until the 1885 general election the area was part of the County Cork constituency. From 1922 it was not represented in the UK Parliament, as it was no longer in the UK.

This constituency comprised the northern part of County Cork, consisting of the baronies of Duhallow and Orrery and Kilmore and that part of the barony of Fermoy contained within the parishes of Ardskeagh, Ballyhay, Doneraile and Imphrick, and the townland of Ballylopen in the parish of Kilquane.
