Electoral Commission mulled most options for redrawing Dublin North and Dublin southeast constituencies in recent electoral map review
The 2023 constituency review recommended increasing the number of TDs from 160 to 174 and the number of constituencies by four to 43. Photographer: Aidan Crawley/BloombergAlong with “Dublin Lucan” and “Carrigaline” constituencies, maps were prepared for the possibility of splitting Donegal and Louth into two constituencies each.
In a statement accompanying the publication of the Constituency Review Papers, An Coimisiún Toghcháin said, “the recommendations reduced many existing county boundary breaches that saw people voting in a constituency outside of their county, and removed seven of the 10 previously existing breaches, reducing the size of two more, while creating just three new county boundary breaches”.The recommendations were implemented for the 2024 General Election.
One paper from a commission meeting in July 2023 set out how transferring the population of Urlingford, Co Kilkenny, and its hinterland from the Carlow-Kilkenny constituency to Tipperary North was the preferred option at the time.
