History and boundaries

Dublin Mid-West contains the areas of Clondalkin, Lucan, Palmerstown, Rathcoole and Saggart. The constituency was created by the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998 as a three-seat constituency, composed of areas which had previously been in the constituencies of Dublin South-West and Dublin West, and came into operation at the 2002 general election.[1] Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005, the town of Palmerstown was incorporated into Dublin Mid-West (having been in Dublin South-West), with an increase to 4 seats, taking effect at the 2007 general election.[2] It has retained these boundaries since 2007.

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election Dublin Mid-West become a five-seat constituency, with transfers of territory from Dublin South-West and Dublin South-Central.[3]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[4]

In the county of South Dublin, the electoral divisions of:
Clondalkin-Cappaghmore, Clondalkin-Dunawley, Clondalkin-Monastery, Clondalkin-Moorfield, Clondalkin-Rowlagh, Clondalkin Village, Lucan-Esker, Lucan Heights, Lucan-St. Helens, Newcastle, Palmerston Village, Palmerston West, Rathcoole, Saggart, Tallaght-Fettercairn.
