- 1 2 Gain retained at the 1886 UK general election.
- ↑ The biographical article on William Henry O'Shea suggests he was not a member of the Irish Parliamentary Party. However, Walker classifies O'Shea as a Nationalist candidate which, for someone standing at an election in 1886, implies membership of the Irish Parliamentary Party.
