Constituencies (Ireland)
The following list contains details of the current 43 constituencies in Ireland in the election for Dáil Éireann on February 25, 2011.
For the 2011 election, the Electoral Amendment Act 2009 made some changes to constituencies. The decision was based on suggestions from the constituency commission. 3 new constituencies were created: Limerick, Limerick City and Kerry North-West Limerick. These replaced the 3 constituencies of Limerick West, Limerick East and Kerry North.
Due to the population development, the number of members to be elected was adjusted in 3 constituencies. Dublin West and Louth each gained one seat, Dún Laoghaire lost one seat.
Smaller area adjustments were decided for 18 constituencies: Cork East, Cork North Central, Cork North West, Donegal North East, Donegal South West, Dublin North, Dublin North Central, Dublin North East, Dublin South, Kerry South, Kildare North, Kildare South, Laois-Offaly, Meath East, Meath West, Roscommon-South Leitrim, Sligo-North Leitrim and Tipperary North.
