EP constituencySouth

Wicklow is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects four 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]

From 2020 to 2024, the constituency spanned the entire area of County Wicklow, including the towns of Bray, Greystones, Arklow, Wicklow and Baltinglass. The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Wicklow lose a seat to become a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory in the south of County Wicklow around the town of Arklow to the new constituency of Wicklow–Wexford.[1]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[2]

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