An Coimisiun Toghchain has made a series of recommendations in response to an increase in Ireland’s population.
The number of TDs should increase from 160 to 174, it has been recommended in a much-anticipated review of Ireland’s constituency boundariesThe constituency review has been prompted by a boom in the population to 5.15 million, as shown in Census 2022 – an increase of 8% in four years.
Of Ireland’s 39 constituencies – nine three-seaters, 17 four-seaters and 13 five-seaters – all but one have seen population increases that put them at more than 30,000 people per TD, with Limerick County being the exception. Constituency reviews are meant to avoid breaching county boundaries where possible, to follow geographical features and to maintain the continuity of electoral areas as much as they can.
