Dublin Central is aparliamentary constituency represented inDáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament orOireachtas. The constituency elects four deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system ofproportional representation by means of thesingle transferable vote (PR-STV).
Dublin Central is regarded as one of the most social and ethnically diverse constituencies in Ireland.[1] It contains Dublin's main shopping district and financial areas. The constituency consists of largely traditional working class areas such asEast Wall,North Strand,Summerhill,Ballybough,Sheriff Street andCabra with more suburban middle class Glasnevin and Lower Drumcondra on the northern fringes of the constituency.
FormerTaoiseachBertie Ahern won the first seat in the constituency at every election from its creation in 1981 until his retirement in 2011. It was a highly competitive constituency with theLabour Party,Sinn Féin and left-wingindependents such asTony Gregory drawing much support. Fianna Fáil has not been represented in the constituency since the2011 general election.
