Dublin Mid-West is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History and boundaries
The constituency was created for the 2002 general election, composed of parts of the Dublin South-West and Dublin West constituencies. It contains the areas of Clondalkin, Lucan, Rathcoole and Saggart.[1] The constituency review of 2004 recommended that the town of Palmerstown was incorporated into Dublin Mid-West (having been in Dublin West), and this was implemented in the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005.[2] The constituency elected 3 TDs in 2002, and gained a fourth seat at the 2007 general election.
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 defines the constituency as:[3]
- "In the county of South Dublin the electoral divisions of:
- Clondalkin-Cappaghmore, Clondalkin-Dunawley, Clondalkin-Moorfield, Clondalkin-Rowlagh, Clondalkin Village, Lucan-Esker, Lucan Heights, Lucan-St. Helens, Newcastle, Palmerston Village, Palmerston West, Rathcoole, Saggart;
- and that part of the electoral division of Clondalkin-Monastery situated west of a line drawn along the M50 Western Parkway."
