EP constituency Dublin

Dún Laoghaire is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

History

The constituency was created in 1977, replacing the earlier Dún Laoghaire and Rathdown constituency which was created in 1948.

At the 2011 general election the number of seats was reduced to 4 from 5.[1]

Boundaries

The constituency is located in the eastern area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county, consisting of the area around the town of Dún Laoghaire and including Ballybrack, Blackrock, Booterstown, Cabinteely (east of the N11 road), Dalkey, Deansgrange, Glasthule, Killiney, Loughlinstown, Monkstown, Sallynoggin, Shankill, and Stillorgan.[2]

For the 2016 general election the constituency was redrawn to include the electoral areas of Cabinteely-Loughlinstown, Foxrock-Carrickmines, Foxrock-Torquay and Stillorgan-Leopardstown, taken from the now-dissolved Dublin South constituency.[3]
