In the period 1992 to 1996 The Central Bank of Ireland replaced the Series B banknotes with a new Series C banknote design. The new design modernised the technology of the currency. The denominations were reduced in size from those of the previous series.
The first denomination to enter circulation was the Daniel O'Connell £20 note in 1992. The final denomination to be released was the Parnell £100 note in 1996.
On January 01 2002 the Irish Pound ceased to exist as a living currency. As a member currency of European Monetary Union, the EURO currency replaced the Irish Pound in circulation in Ireland on this date.
