Tipperary South is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects three deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

[edit]

At the 1948 general election, the former constituency of Tipperary was divided into Tipperary North and Tipperary South. Tipperary South was primarily based around the former county of South Tipperary. The principal population centres were Tipperary, Clonmel, Cashel, Carrick-on-Suir, and Cahir. The counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary were abolished in 2014, and succeeded by County Tipperary.

The constituency of Tipperary South was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the new Tipperary constituency.

In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a new three-seat constituency of Tipperary South.[1]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[2]

"The county of Tipperary except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Tipperary North."
