Map by Conal Kelly
This
constituency
included most of the old Armagh constituency but annexed
Newry from South Down. The constituency was almost unchanged in
the
1995 revision, so the new constituency
is
almost directly comparable to the old. The Member of Parliament
elected
in 1983 was Jim Nicholson (UUP); he was defeated in the 1986
by-election by Seamus Mallon (SDLP) and Mallon was re-elected in
1987
and 1992.
See spreadsheets for 1983, 1987 and 1992.
