South is a constituency of the European Parliament in Ireland. It elects 4 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History and boundaries
The constituency was created in 2004 as a successor to the Munster constituency, with County Clare being moved to the North-West constituency. It comprised the counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford; and the cities of Cork, Limerick and Waterford.[1]
For the 2014 European Parliament election, the constituency was increased in size by the addition of counties Carlow, Clare, Kilkenny, Wexford and Wicklow; and the number of seats was increased to 4.[2][3]
