Template:Short description Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox UK constituency Tralee is a former borough constituency in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, returning one Member of Parliament (MP) for the parliamentary borough of Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland from 1801 to 1885.

History

Tralee was a two-seat constituency in the Irish House of Commons. Under the Acts of Union 1800, which came into effect on 1 January 1801, it was one of the constituencies represented in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, with its representation reduced to one seat. The member who sat in the First Parliament of the United Kingdom was chosen by lot. The borough was disfranchised under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, which took effect at the 1885 general election.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The area was thereafter represented by the county constituency of West Kerry.

Notable MPs included George Canning, later Prime Minister in 1827, Arthur Wellesley, later Prime Minister from 1828 to 1830 (as the Duke of Wellington), and Thomas O'Hagan, later Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1868 to 1874 and 1880 to 1881.
