Dáil constituency (1921–1937, 1948–present)
Carlow–Kilkenny is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann , the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas . The constituency elects five 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 of Carlow–Kilkenny first existed at the election of the Second Dáil at the 1921 general election , combining the UK parliament constituencies of County Carlow , Kilkenny North and Kilkenny South , which had 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 has continued in existence since 1948.
From the 2020 general election , the constituency has spanned the entire area of County Kilkenny and the entire area of County Carlow , taking in the parts of Carlow which had been in the Wicklow constituency since the 1997 general election .
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[1]
"The county of Carlow and the county of Kilkenny."
The 2023 Report of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election , Carlow–Kilkenny remain as a five-seat constituency, with the transfer of a population of 6,431 to the new constituency of Tipperary North .[2]
For the next general election , the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]
"The county of Carlow; and the county of Kilkenny except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituency of Tipperary North."
