Tipperary South (Dáil constituency)
Dáil constituency (1948–2016, 2024–present)
Tipperary South is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann , the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas . The constituency elects three 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
At the 1948 general election , the former constituency of Tipperary was divided into Tipperary North and Tipperary South. Tipperary South was primarily based around the former county of South Tipperary . The principal population centres were Tipperary , Clonmel , Cashel , Carrick-on-Suir , and Cahir . The counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary were abolished in 2014, and succeeded by County Tipperary .
The constituency of Tipperary South was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the new Tipperary constituency.
In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a new three-seat constituency of Tipperary South.[ 1]
For the 2024 general election , the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[ 2]
"The county of Tipperary except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Tipperary North."
