History and boundaries edit

The constituency was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013.[1] It incorporated all of the old Dublin North, Swords-Forrest and Kilsallaghan from Dublin West, and Balgriffin and Turnapin from Dublin North-East. The name Dublin Fingal for the constituency that became Dublin North had been proposed by John Boland in 1980.[2]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[3]

"In the county of Fingal the electoral divisions of:
Balbriggan Rural, Balbriggan Urban, Balgriffin, Ballyboghil, Balscadden, Clonmethan, Donabate, Garristown, Hollywood, Holmpatrick, Kilsallaghan, Kinsaley, Lusk, Malahide East, Malahide West, Portmarnock North, Portmarnock South, Rush, Skerries, Swords-Forrest, Swords-Glasmore, Swords-Lissenhall, Swords-Seatown, Swords Village;
and those parts of the electoral divisions of Airport, Dubber and Turnapin situated north of a line drawn along the Northern Cross Route (M50), passing in a clockwise direction around and excluding roundabout No. 3 at the junction of the Northern Cross Route (M50) with the M1 Motorway."

In August 2023, the Electoral Commission published its review of constituency boundaries in Ireland, which recommended that the constituency of Dublin Fingal be abolished, with the creation of two new three-seat constituencies: Dublin Fingal East and Dublin Fingal West.[4] Each new constituency would elect 3 deputies. These changes would commence at the next general election.
