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]
