From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cork Borough 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 4-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 a 5-seat constituency for the 1923 general election to the 4th Dáil. Its representation fluctuated between 4 and 5 seats until its abolition for the 1969 general election.
