[edit] Details
Dublin North East is a parliamentary constituency in the Republic of Ireland. It is located in the north-eastern area of County Dublin. The constituency has an electorate of 52,105 and at present is served by 3 Teachtaí Dála (TDs). The method of election is the Single Transferable Vote.
The constituency is almost entirely urbanised as well as quite diverse. It encompasses the Howth electoral area of Fingal County Council, the Darndale parts of the Artane electoral area, and the Donaghmede and Raheny parts of the Donagmede electoral areas of Dublin City Council. Recent boundary suggestions propose that the Edenmore area, also part of the Donaghmede electoral area, should be added to this constituency out of Dublin North Central at the next general election.
