 Five towns with abolished corporations remained parliamentary boroughs until 1885 (Armagh, Carrickfergus, Coleraine, Dungannon, and Enniskillen) as did three (Downpatrick, Lisburn, and Newry) where any corporation was defunct by 1801.Several of the urban districts in Northern Ireland created under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 later received charters granting borough status.The Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 replaced the multi-tier local government system with whose councils could retain the charter of a borough within the district; other districts later received borough charters in their own right.
