EP constituencySouth

Wicklow is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

Boundaries

[edit]

The constituency spans the entire area of County Wicklow, including the towns of Wicklow, Arklow, Baltinglass, Greystones and Bray.[1]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[1]

"The county of Wicklow."

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Wexford lose a seat to become a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory in the south of County Wicklow to the new constituency of Wicklow–Wexford.[2]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]

"The county of Wicklow except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Wicklow-Wexford."
