'''Monaghan''' was a [[Dáil constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in [[Dáil Éireann]], the lower house of the Irish parliament or [[Oireachtas]] from 1921 to 1977. The constituency elected 3 deputies ([[Teachta Dála|Teachtaí Dála]], commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, on the system of [[proportional representation]] by means of the [[single transferable vote]] (PR-STV).

== History ==
The constituency was created in 1921 as a 3-seat constituency, under the [[Government of Ireland Act 1920 (constituencies)|Government of Ireland Act 1920]], for the [[1921 Irish elections|1921 election]] to the [[House of Commons of Southern Ireland]], whose members formed the [[2nd Dáil]].

It succeeded the constituencies of [[North Monaghan (UK Parliament constituency)|Monaghan North]] and [[South Monaghan (UK Parliament constituency)|Monaghan South]] which were used to elect the [[Members of the 1st Dáil]] and earlier [[British House of Commons]] members.

It was abolished under the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974]], when it was replaced by the new constituency of [[Cavan–Monaghan (Dáil constituency)|Cavan–Monaghan]] which was first used at the [[1977 Irish general election|1977 general election]].

== Boundaries ==
The constituency spanned the entire area of the [[County Monaghan]].<ref name="ea-1923">{{cite web |title=Electoral (Amendment) Act, 1923: (Constituencies) |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1923/en/act/pub/0012/sched8.html#sched8 |work=Irish Statute Book database |accessdate=10 September 2010}}</ref>
