Dublin Artane (Dáil Éireann constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dublin Artane was a short-lived parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. It covered the north eastern parts of the city of Dublin, including the Artane area together with parts of Clontarf, Drumcondra and Santry. It existed from 1977 to 1981. It elected three Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).

[edit] History
The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974 [1] , largely replacing the former Dublin North East constituency, as part of the redistribution of constituencies (also known as the Tullymander) which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael/Labour government. It was first used for the 1977 election. The constituency was abolished in 1981 with much of it going into an expanded Dublin North Central constituency. Of the 15 wards in Dublin Artane, 11 went to Dublin North Central for the 1981 election, with two going to Dublin North East and two to Dublin North West.
[edit] Boundaries
It consisted of the following wards of the county borough of Dublin [2]: Artane A, Artane B, Artane C, Artane D, Artane E, Artane F, Artane G, Artane H, Clontarf East E, Clontarf West A, Clontarf West B, Drumcondra North A, Drumcondra North B, Drumcondra North C, Santry B.
