The constituency of Carlow–Kilkenny first existed at the election of the Second Dáil at the 1921 general election, combining the UK parliament constituencies of County Carlow, Kilkenny North and Kilkenny South, which had elected members of the First Dáil. Carlow–Kilkenny did not exist between 1937 and 1948, when it was replaced by the constituencies of Carlow–Kildare and Kilkenny. The constituency has continued in existence since 1948.
From the 2020 general election, the constituency has spanned the entire area of County Kilkenny and the entire area of County Carlow, taking in the parts of Carlow which had been in the Wicklow constituency since the 1997 general election.
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[1]
"The county of Carlow and the county of Kilkenny."
The 2023 Report of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Carlow–Kilkenny remain as a five-seat constituency, with the transfer of a population of 6,431 to the new constituency of Tipperary North.[2]
For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]
"The county of Carlow;
and the county of Kilkenny except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituency of Tipperary North."

1956 by-election
Following the death of Fianna Fáil TD Thomas Walsh, a by-election was held on 14 November 1956. The seat was won by Fianna Fáil candidate Martin Medlar.
The surplus votes of the elected candidate were distributed after being declared elected because there was a possibility another candidate could have reached the threshold of a third of a quota which would have meant their election deposit was returned to them.
