Dublin 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

A Dublin West constituency was created for the first time as a 5-seater, under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980[1] and was first used for the 1981 general election. It drew its electorate from the abolished constituencies of Dublin County West, Dublin Ballyfermot and Dublin Cabra together with a small part of Dublin South-East. It was reduced to 4 seats for the 1992 general election. Following the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998 which took effect for the 2002 general election, the constituency was reduced in size and representation, being the largest source of voters for the new Dublin Mid-West seat. As a result, it was reduced from a 4-seat to a 3-seat constituency. At the 2011 general election the number of seats was increased to 4.[2]

Boundaries

The constituency is currently made up of the Castleknock and most of the Mulhuddart local electoral areas of Fingal. The constituency includes Mulhuddart, Corduff, Blanchardstown, Castleknock, Carpenterstown, Barberstown, Clonsilla and Ongar. The portion in Dublin City includes Dublin Zoo and Áras an Uachtaráin, the official residence of the President of Ireland.

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[3]

"In the county of Fingal the electoral divisions of:

Blanchardstown-Blakestown, Blanchardstown-Coolmine, Blanchardstown-Corduff, Blanchardstown-Delwood, Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart, Blanchardstown-Roselawn, Blanchardstown-Tyrrelstown, Castleknock-Knockmaroon, Castleknock-Park, Lucan North;
and those parts of the electoral divisions of Blanchardstown-Abbotstown, and The Ward situated north of a line drawn along the Northern Cross Route (M50);

and, in the city of Dublin, the electoral divisions of:

Ashtown A, Ashtown B;
and that part of the electoral division of Phoenix Park situated north of a line drawn along Chapelizod Road, Conyngham Road and Parkgate Street."
