County Sligo is a former county constituency in Ireland, represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It returned two Members of Parliament (MPs), elected by the bloc vote system of election.

History and boundaries

In 1801, the constituency succeeded the constituency of County Sligo in the Irish House of Commons, comprising the whole of County Sligo, except the parliamentary borough of Sligo. After the Sligo and Cashel Disfranchisement Act 1870, the borough ceased to have separate representation, and eligible voters were added to the roll for the county constituency. From 1885 the constituency was divided into North Sligo and South Sligo.
