Robert Barry (politician)

Robert Barry (1731–1793)[1] was an Irish politician and barrister.

He was the third son of Sir Edward Barry, 1st Baronet.[2] In 1750, he was admitted to Lincoln's Inn and in 1753, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts.[3] He was appointed a King's Counsel in 1768.[3] Between 1761 and 1776, Barry sat in the Irish House of Commons for Charleville,[1] the same constituency his father had also represented before.

In 1762, Barry married Elizabeth Lyons, daughter of Henry Lyons, a Member of Parliament for King's County.[4] He married Elizabeth La Touche, daughter of James Digges La Touche in 1780.[2]
