In Ireland, the Repeal Association remained allied to the Whigs, under whose banner Daniel O'Connell's men continued to stand. The results in Ireland did not follow the wider trend in the UK, where the Conservatives took 41 seats from the Whigs and came closer to beating them. In Ireland, the Whigs comfortably remained the larger party, with 74 MPs to the Conservatives' 32. Of the 74 elected Whigs, 34 were Repeal members.
Compared to the previous election, there were some notable shifts in the Irish vote. Kerry leaned Conservative, with one of its MPs and the MP for Tralee both coming from Peel's party. This was a marked contrast to the dominance of Repeal candidates in that county two years ago. Conversely, the Conservative support in Carlow and Queen's County (Laois) lessened signifcantly as the Whigs made their first gains there since 1832. Carlow switched completely from Conservative to Whig, with a Repeal candidate being elected, while Queen's County retained just one of their Conservative MPs. Further north, Longford also switched from two Conservative MPs to two Whig (Repeal) MPs.

Overall, the Whigs claimed another election victory, with Melbourne remaining as Prime Minister. The Conservatives were closing the gap however, and the next election would see them put an end to the Whig majority - an end aided in part by the cessation of the alliance with the Repeal Association.
