Dún Laoghaire 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) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1977, succeeding the earlier Dún Laoghaire and Rathdown constituency which had been created in 1948. The constituency is in the eastern coastal area of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown county (part of County Dublin till 1994), including the town of Dún Laoghaire and the villages of Ballybrack, Blackrock, Booterstown, Cabinteely (east of the N11 road), Dalkey, Deansgrange, Glasthule, Killiney, Loughlinstown, Monkstown, Sallynoggin, Shankill, and Stillorgan.

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Dún Laoghaire be altered with the transfer of territory to Dublin Rathdown.[2][3]
