The scene of elections in Parliament Street, Kilkenny City in which George Leopold Bryan, high sheriff of County Kilkenny and well known for his interest in racehorses and fox hunting became one of the two MPs for Co. Kilkenny, from 1865 to 1880. Elected with clerical support as a liberal, but never prominent, he attended the home rule conference held at the Rotunda, at which the Home Rule League was formed in November 1873, but by July 1876 he had doubts about home rule.
