From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mayo North is a former parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. Covering the northern part of Mayo, it existed from 1923–1969. It elected four (later three) Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).

[edit] History
The constituency was created in 1923, under the Electoral Act 1923, for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann, whose members formed the 4th Dáil. The constituency returned four Teachtaí Dála from 1923 to 1937. Under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 this was reduced to three seats from 1937 onwards.
It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969, when it and Mayo South were replaced by the two new constituencies of Mayo East and Mayo West.
