History and boundaries

The constituency was created in 1979 for the first direct elections to the European Parliament.[3] From 1979 to 1994, it comprised County Dublin and the city of Dublin. Since 1994 it comprises the same area redefined as the counties of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal, South Dublin and the city of Dublin.[4]

From 1979 to 2004, it elected 4 MEPs; this was reduced to 3 for the 2009 election. For the 2019 European Parliament election, a reapportionment following Brexit and the loss of 73 MEPs from the United Kingdom gave two additional seats to Ireland. Following a recommendation of the Constituency Commission, Dublin gained an extra seat, from 3 to 4. However, the last candidate elected did not take his seat until after the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union.[5][6][7][4][8]

        The count was suspended overnight after count 14 to clarify whether Lynn Boylan's votes should be redistributed between the two continuing candidates, Barry Andrews and Clare Daly.[31][32] The usual count rules had been amended so the practice of deeming candidates elected without reaching the quota would not apply.[33] This gives a more precise ordering between the final candidates to be elected, which is important in 2019 because the last candidate elected could not take their seat until the reallocation of seats in the European Parliament which took place when Brexit had taken effect and the MEPs elected for the United Kingdom vacated their seats on 31 January 2020.[30]

                        1. Will not appear on the ballot as Rabharta. The Electoral Commission proposed the registration of the party to contest European and local elections on 12 April. However, as the proposed decision was subject to a 21-day appeal period, it will not be in force for the 7 June 2024 elections.[25]
                        2. Will not appear on the ballot under the label of "National Party" following a decision by the Registrar of Political Parties. Two factions of the party both applied to use the name "National Party" and the Registrar opted not to endorse either group.[26][27]
