Dublin County (Dáil Éireann constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dublin County was an Irish parliamentary constituency which returned Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to Dáil Éireann from 1921–1969, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
[edit] History
The constituency was created in 1921 as a 6-seater, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil.
Under the Electoral Act, 1923, it became an 8-seat constituency for the 1923 general election to the 4th Dáil. It remained at that size until major boundaries changes for the 1937 election to the 9th Dáil, when its geographical area was reduced and its representation cut to 5 seats.
Further boundary changes for the 1948 general election to the 13th Dáil saw its area further reduced, and representation cut to 3 seats. It was expanded to a 5-seater again for the 1961 general election to the 17th Dáil, before its abolition for the 1969 general election. It was replaced by Dublin County North and Dublin County South.
