Dáil constituency (1921–2016, 2020–2024)
Laois–Offaly (formerlyKing's County–Queen's County ,Leix–Offaly andLaoighis–Offaly ) was aparliamentary constituency which was represented inDáil Éireann , thehouse of representatives of theOireachtas (the legislature ofIreland ), from 1921 to 2016 and again from 2020 to 2024. The constituency elected deputies (Teachtaí Dála , commonly known as TDs) on the system ofproportional representation by means of thesingle transferable vote (PR-STV).
History and boundaries [ edit ] Laois–Offaly was created under theGovernment of Ireland Act 1920 as King's County–Queen's County (the respective names ofCounty Offaly andCounty Laois before independence). The two counties were combined in a single four-member constituency for theHouse of Commons of Southern Ireland . It was known in the Dáil as Leix–Offaly, and first used for the1921 general election to theSecond Dáil . TheSinn Féin candidates elected unopposed preferred to sit in the Second Dáil (1921–22). It was used at every subsequent general election until 2011. It was abolished at the2016 general election , and was replaced by the new constituencies ofLaois andOffaly .
It was re-established by theElectoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 , which came into effect for the2020 general election .[ 1]
In August 2023, theElectoral Commission published its review of constituency boundaries in Ireland, which recommended that the constituency of Laois–Offaly be abolished, with the creation of two new three-seat constituencies:Laois andOffaly .[ 2] 2024 general election under theElectoral (Amendment) Act 2023 .
