Limerick East (Dáil constituency)

History and boundaries edit

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947 and first used at the 1948 general election. It succeeded the constituency of Limerick, which was divided between Limerick East and Limerick West.

At its abolition, it encompassed the whole of Limerick City, together with the Castleconnell electoral area part of the Bruff electoral area of County Limerick and the Ballyglass electoral division in County Clare.

The constituency elected 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) from 1948 to 1981, and 5 deputies from 1981 to 2011.

While support for left-wing parties has usually been strong in the city of Limerick, the constituency also elected at least one Progressive Democrats TD in all general elections from 1987 until 2007.

The Constituency Commission published its final recommendations on 23 October 2007.[1] As a result of population decline, Limerick East was replaced by a 4-seat Limerick City constituency at the 2011 general election. Most of the rural parts of Limerick East were transferred to the new Limerick constituency.[2]
