Carlow–Kilkenny is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 5 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 of Carlow–Kilkenny has been used at Irish elections since the election of the Second Dáil at the 1921 general election. Prior to Irish independence, elections to the UK Parliament were held in three single-seat constituencies, known as Carlow, Kilkenny North and Kilkenny South, and it was these three constituencies that elected members of the First Dáil. Carlow–Kilkenny did not exist between 1937 and 1948, when it was replaced by the constituencies of Carlow–Kildare and Kilkenny.

The constituency spans the entire area of County Kilkenny and most of County Carlow (a small part of which is in the Wicklow constituency), taking in Kilkenny city, Carlow town, Urlingford, Tullow and Muine Bheag.[1]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 defines the constituency as:

"The county of Kilkenny and the county of Carlow, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Wicklow."

Since 2020

From the 2020 general election, the constituency spans the entire area of County Kilkenny and the entire area of County Carlow.[2]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:

"The county of Carlow and the county of Kilkenny."

Following the death of Fianna Fáil TD Thomas Walsh, a by-election was held on 14 November 1956. The seat was won by Fianna Fáil candidate Martin Medlar.

The surplus votes of the elected candidate were distributed after being declared elected because there was a possibility another candidate could have reached the threshold of a third of a quota which would have meant their election deposit was returned to them.
