'''Dublin Townships''' was a [[Dáil constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in [[Dáil Éireann]], the lower house of the Irish parliament or [[Oireachtas]] from 1937 to 1948. The constituency elected 3 deputies ([[Teachta Dála|Teachtaí Dála]], commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, using [[proportional representation]] by means of the [[single transferable vote]] (PR-STV). |
|||
== History and boundaries == |
|||
It succeeded the constituency of [[Dublin County (Dáil Éireann constituency)|Dublin County]] which was reduced in size. It was abolished under the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947]]. |
|||
{{maplink|frame=yes|frame-align=right|type=line|text=Dublin Townships (1937–1948)}} |
|||
The constituency was created under the [[Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935]], and first used at the [[1937 Irish general election|1937 general election]]. It was created from the constituency of [[Dublin County (Dáil constituency)|Dublin County]], which was reduced in size. It reflected a transfer of territory from [[Dublin County]] to [[Dublin|Dublin City]] effected by the [[Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930]]. |
|||
The boundaries were defined as: "The area referred to in the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930, as the added urban districts and also so much of the land described in Part III of the First Schedule to the said Act<ref>{{Cite Irish legislation|name=[[Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930]]|schedno=1|stitle=Added rural area|year=1930|number=27|parl=ifs|date=17 July 1930}}</ref> as is contiguous to the said area and also the townland of Clonskeagh."<ref>{{cite Irish legislation|year=1935|parl=ifs|type=act|number=5|name=[[Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935]]|date=27 February 1935|schedno=1|stitle=Revised Constituencies|access-date=12 May 2022}}</ref> The "added urban districts" are defined in the 1930 Act as "the urban district of [[Pembroke Township|Pembroke]] and the urban district of [[Rathmines and Rathgar]]".<ref>{{Cite Irish legislation|name=[[Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930]]|section=1|stitle=Definitions|year=1930|number=27|parl=ifs|date=17 July 1930}}</ref> Pembroke included [[Ballsbridge]], [[Donnybrook, Dublin|Donnybrook]], [[Sandymount]], [[Irishtown, Dublin|Irishtown]] and [[Ringsend]]. |
|||
== Boundaries == |
|||
The constituency consisted primarily of areas which had recently been incorporated into the expanded boundaries of Dublin City: the former [[Pembroke Township]] (comprising [[Ballsbridge]], [[Donnybrook, Dublin|Donnybrook]], [[Sandymount]], [[Irishtown, Dublin|Irishtown]] and [[Ringsend]]), as well as [[Clonskeagh]], [[Rathmines]] and [[Rathgar]]. |
|||
At the next revision of constituencies, under the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947]], it was succeeded by [[Dublin South-East (Dáil constituency)|Dublin South-East]], which took effect at the [[1948 Irish general election|1948 general election]].<ref>{{cite Irish legislation|year=1947|number=31|schedno=1|stitle=Constituencies|name=[[Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947]]|date=27 November 1947|access-date=12 May 2022}}</ref> |
|||
The boundaries were defined by the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 as ''"The area referred to in the Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930 , as the added urban districts and also so much of the land described in Part III of the First Schedule to the said Act as is contiguous to the said area and also the townland of Clonskeagh."''<ref>{{cite web |title=Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act, 1935: First Schedule (revised constituencies) |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1935/en/act/pub/0005/gen_1.html#sch1_p3 |work=Irish Statute Book database |accessdate=2009-02-12}}</ref> The "added urban districts" are defined in the 1930 Act as ''"the urban district of Pembroke and the urban district of Rathmines and Rathgar"''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930 (section 1: Definitions) |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1930/en/act/pub/0027/sec0001.html#s1_p24 |work=Irish Statute Book database |accessdate=2009-02-12}}</ref> |

Dublin Townships was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1937 to 1948. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, using proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
History and boundaries
The constituency was created under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, and first used at the 1937 general election. It was created from the constituency of Dublin County, which was reduced in size. It reflected a transfer of territory from Dublin County to Dublin City effected by the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930.
The boundaries were defined as: "The area referred to in the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930, as the added urban districts and also so much of the land described in Part III of the First Schedule to the said Act[1] as is contiguous to the said area and also the townland of Clonskeagh."[2] The "added urban districts" are defined in the 1930 Act as "the urban district of Pembroke and the urban district of Rathmines and Rathgar".[3] Pembroke included Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Sandymount, Irishtown and Ringsend.
At the next revision of constituencies, under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, it was succeeded by Dublin South-East, which took effect at the 1948 general election.[4]
