The redraw has been prompted by a rise in population that means voters are underrepresented by their current intake of 160 TDs.
Ireland’s much-anticipated new constituency boundaries are set to be revealed – and scrutinised carefully by politicians and election strategists in the coming days.
This 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. According to Irish electoral laws, each constituency should have between three and five elected members, with three-seaters seen as advantageous to large political parties and five-seaters an easier job for smaller parties and independents to get over the quota threshold.
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.
