Dublin County Mid (Dáil constituency)


Dublin County Mid was a short-lived parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1977 to 1981. The constituency elected 3 deputies to the Dáil, using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation.

History

The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral Act 1974 as part of the redistribution of constituencies which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael–Labour Party government.

It was abolished by the Electoral Act 1980 and divided between the constituencies of Dublin South, Dublin South-West and Dublin South-Central. It was only used for the 1977 general election to the 21st Dáil.
