Dublin North was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 1981 to 2016, representing an area in the north of County Dublin (later Fingal). A previous constituency of the same existed in Dublin City from 1923 to 1937. The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

Boundaries

[edit]

1923–1937

[edit]

Dublin North was created under the Electoral Act 1923 as an eight-seat borough constituency on the northside of Dublin city from territory that had been part of the Dublin Mid and Dublin North-West constituencies. It was defined by borough electoral areas, each of which contained one or more wards: Dublin No. 1 [Arran Quay], Dublin No. 2 [Clontarf East, Clontarf West, Drumcondra and Glasnevin], Dublin No. 4 [Inns' Quay and Rotunda], Dublin No. 6 [Mountjoy] and Dublin No. 8 [North City and North Dock].[1][2]

It was abolished with effect at the 1937 general election, when it was replaced by the constituencies of Dublin North-East (3 seats) and Dublin North-West (5 seats).[3]

1981–2016

[edit]

A constituency of the same name was created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and was first used at the 1981 general election. It was in the northern area of County Dublin (later Fingal), and included the towns of Balbriggan and Malahide, Lusk, Rush, Donabate and Skerries. It was superseded by Dublin Fingal at the 2016 general election.
