Tipperary North (Dáil constituency)

Tipperary North was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 1948 to 2016, and (per the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023) to again be used for future elections. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries edit

It was created for the 1948 general election when the former constituency of Tipperary was divided into Tipperary North and Tipperary South. It was primarily based around the former county of North Tipperary. The principal population centres were Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. Tipperary North was a rare example of a bellwether constituency in Ireland; from 1969 onward, with the exception of February 1982, two of the three deputies it returned went on to support the resulting government. The constituency returned at least one TD for Fianna Fáil from 1948 until the 2011 general election.

The counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary were abolished in 2014, and succeeded by County Tipperary. The constituency of Tipperary North was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the new Tipperary and Offaly constituencies.

In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of new three seat constituencies of Tipperary North and Tipperary South. Tipperary North would include 13 electoral divisions from County Kilkenny.[1]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[2]
