Cork South-Central (Dáil constituency)
Dáil constituency (1981–present)
Cork South-Central 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
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 encompassing the south of Cork City, county towns and a rural hinterland. It encompasses the electoral areas of Cork City south of the river Lee, together with most of the Carrigaline electoral area of County Cork , including the Ringaskiddy and Passage West areas.[ 1]
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election , Cork South-Central be increased to a five-seat constituency with the transfer of territory from Cork North-Central .[ 2] [ 3]
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[ 4]
"The city of Cork, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Cork North-Central and Cork North-West;
and, in the county of Cork, the electoral divisions of:
Carrigaline, Monkstown Urban, in the former Rural District of Cork ;
and those parts contained in the county of Cork of the electoral divisions of:
Ballygarvan, Douglas, Inishkenny, Monkstown Rural, in the former Rural District of Cork ;
Carrigaline, Kilpatrick, Liscleary, Templebreedy, in the former Rural District of Kinsale ."
