Tipperary was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1923 to 1948.

[edit] History and boundaries

The constituency was created under the Electoral Act 1923, and was first used at the 1923 general election, replacing the previous Tipperary Mid, North and South constituency and the Tipperary part of the Waterford–Tipperary East constituency.

It consisted of administrative counties of Tipperary North Riding and Tipperary South Riding.[1]

Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, it was abolished and divided into two new constituencies: Tipperary South and Tipperary North. These new constituencies were first used for the 1948 general election
