Administrative History	Ireland Colliery was first sunk between 1874 and 1876 by the Staveley Coal and Iron Company. It worked the Deep Soft, Deep Hard and Threequarter coal seams. The colliery was transferred to the control of the National Coal Board as a result of the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947, when it was placed in the East Midlands Division Area No. 1. On the internal reorganisation of the National Coal Board in 1967 it went into the North Derbyshire Area. In 1986 the colliery was closed and its workings were joined up with Markham Colliery.
