Youghal (UK Parliament constituency)

Youghal was a United Kingdom Parliament constituency in Ireland returning one MP.

It was an original constituency represented in Parliament when the Union of Great Britain and Ireland took effect on 1 January 1801.

A Topographical Directory of Ireland, published in 1837, describes the Parliamentary history of the borough.

The borough appears to have exercised the elective franchise by prescription, as, though no notice of that privilege appears in any of its charters, it continued to send two members to the Irish parliament from the year 1374 until the Union, since which period it has returned one member to the imperial parliament; the right of election was vested solely in the members of the corporation and the freemen, whether resident or not; but by the act of the 2nd of Wm.

On petition, Weguelin was unseated due to treating, and a by-election was called.
