Dublin Rathmines West 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 (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History
The constituency was created for the 1977 general election, under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974,[1] largely replacing the former Dublin South-Central constituency, as part of the redistribution of constituencies which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael–Labour Party government.
The constituency was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980[2] for the 1981 general election. It was mostly replaced with the Dublin South-Central constituency although a smaller part went to Dublin South-East.
Its election was also notable for representing the first time that Mary Robinson, (later 8th President of Ireland), stood for the Dáil, though she was unsuccessful.
Boundaries
The constituency covered the Rathmines district of South-East Dublin and adjoining areas. It consisted of the following wards of the county borough of Dublin:[1] Crumlin D, Kimmage A, Kimmage B, Kimmage C, Kimmage D, Kimmage E, Rathfarnham A, Rathmines West A, Rathmines West B, Rathmines West D, Rathmines West E, Rathmines West F, Terenure A, Terenure B, Terenure C.
