It is not clear if this represents the entire electorate or just disputed votes. The panel also shows who got the votes. Unlike modern times with the demarcation between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael the fault line is religious. It also shows Catholics and their property qualification the vote had been given to them for some time. It was not until Daniel O’Connell and Catholic Emancipation in 1828 that they could sit in Parliament.

I am indebted to Richard Arnopp for making his work available, this is a continuing project. In relation to some of the Evanson references some of them he says may be incorrect.

Sample Grand Jury Book and Presentments Co. Antrim, 1712 Cork Records Having Being Lost.

Sample Grand Jury Book and Presentments Co. Antrim, 1712 Cork Records Having Being Lost.
From the end of the 17th century local administration was carried out by the Grand Juries. This was a body comprising the County Lieutenants and the Magistrates. When they sat for ‘presentments’ they voted money for public works such as the building of roads or bridges.
The administration of the works was controlled by the County Surveyor and the financial end by the County Treasurer. In the early 19th century the Cork County Treasurer was De La Cour and he reported regularly to the Imperial Parliament in Westminster.
It would appear that little of the early records for Cork have survived, sometimes in old newspapers the deliberations of the Grand Jury are reported.
This is a sample from Co. Antrim presumably the same would apply throughout the island.

The Grand July sat at various times in the year rom the late 17th century and assessed various items of what be termed infrastructure, roads, bridges. The Jury would consist of the county Lieutenants and Magistrates and could be quite substantial in umber. If a project was approved money was voted to the selected contractor. The work was then assessed by the county surveyor and financial control exercised by the county treasurer.
Fro the early 19th century the Cork County Treasurer De La Cour submitted reports to the Imperial Parliament in Wesminister and it is possible to see some of these. For Cork it appears that little from the 18th century has survived. Sometimes in old newspapers there are reference to the Grand Juries deliberations.
The County Antrim presentments shows the format which presumably applied throughout the Island.

Thanks to Marthanne williamson, Heather Croston.
Just a scratch in the surface, it is often by looking at US and Canadian census to establish dates not possible in Ireland due to 1922 destruction.

Father Good ancestors must have been Protestant in origin and he displays as do many from that background a resolute independence of spirit. Good is a common name in the Bandon area. Lucey was the dominant church figure in Cork in the mid 20th century and rules with an iron fist. He built a chain of ‘Rosary Churches’ around the city. He had studied Social Policy in Austria in the 1930s and his pronouncements condemning Government inaction on the part of small farmers in West Cork received widespread attention.
Before Father Good was silenced he was also a priest in the Lough Church…
