History and boundaries

edit

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and first used at the 1981 general election, taking in parts of the former Cork City and Cork Mid constituencies. It is a mixed urban-rural constituency made up of the Cork North Central, Cork North East and Cork North West local electoral areas of Cork City north of the River Lee, and much of the Blarney local electoral area of County Cork.[1]

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Cork North-Central be increased to a five-seat constituency with the transfer of territory from Cork East and Cork North-West and the transfer of territory to Cork South-Central and Cork North-West.[2][3]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[4]
