The town is the subject of the classic Irish folk song "Carrickfergus", a 19th-century translation of an Irish-language song (Do Bhí Bean Uasal) from Munster, which begins with the words, "I wish I was in Carrickfergus."
The council headquarters were in Carrickfergus and the council administered the town, on the north shore of Belfast Lough, and surrounding area, which extended from Greenisland in the south-west to Whitehead in the east. The borough was 32 square miles (83km2), with a population of just over 39,000.
1 Walker (like F. W. S. Craig in his compilations of election results for Great Britain) classifies Tory candidates as Conservatives from 1832. The name Conservative was gradually adopted as a description for the Tories. The party is deemed to be named Conservative from the 1835 general election.

Skateboard Park under construction by Mid & East Antrim B. Council; current financial cost unknown!!
We see another Skateboard Park under construction by Mid & East Antrim Borough Council, yet, we have one already constructed in nearby Carrickfergus, why on earth does any Council Borough require two???
Let's not forget that this is the same Council that hiked the Rates in 2024/25 by 9.78% for homeowners and 11.86% for small business owners (highest in Northern Ireland) which is way above inflation to pay for this spending extravagant and the financial outlay for this Skateboard Park isn't clear.
Were is the accountability to Ratepayers who struggle to find the money to pay for this largess, there appears not to be any!!??
