John Irving (5 October 1766 – 10 November 1845)[1] was an Irish landowner, industrialist and MP.
Irving majored in developing what was then known as Ballylig Lime Works, building quays and a railway, and expanding the production.
The lime works which were established by Irving became the British Portland Cement Company Plant, and subsequently Blue Circle.
Irving was a Member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Bramber, a rotten borough in Sussex, England, 1806–1832[2] and following its abolition in 1832, for Antrim, 1837–1845[1]
