Parliamentary constituencies in the Republic of IrelandThe Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, currently contains 166 Teachtaí Dála (TDs), representing 42 parliamentary constituencies throughout the Republic of Ireland. Depending on its size, each constituency can have 3, 4 or 5 elected representatives. In 2004 the 'Constituency Commission Report on Dáil Constituencies' proposed some major changes. Five new constituencies will be created: Longford-Westmeath , Meath East , Meath West , Roscommon-South Leitrim and Sligo-North Leitrim . These will replace the four existing constituencies of Longford-Roscommon, Meath, Sligo-Leitrim and Westmeath. These new changes result in the creation of a 43rd constituency and the removal of the provincial boundary breach between Leinster and Connacht. The number of seats is reduced in two constituencies: Cork North Central (from 5 to 4) and Dublin North Central (from 4 to 3). Two three seater constituencies gain an extra seat: Dublin Mid West and Kildare North. There are further boundary changes to eleven constituencies outside Dublin: Clare, Cork North West, Cork South Central, Cork South West, Donegal North East, Donegal South West, Kerry North, Kerry South, Kildare South, Limerick East and Limerick West. All of the twelve Dublin constituencies have also been revised apart from Dublin South East and Dun Laoighaire.
