History and boundaries

The Longford–Roscommon constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1990 and first used at the 1992 general election.[1] The constituency was previously represented through the constituencies of Roscommon and Longford-Westmeath, both of which were abolished in 1992.

The constituency spanned the entire area of County Longford and County Roscommon, taking in the towns of Longford and Roscommon and many other areas.[1]

It was one of a number of constituencies which were altered by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005; with effect from the 2007 general election, the Longford–Roscommon constituency was abolished. Longford joined the recreated constituency of Longford–Westmeath, while Roscommon became part of Roscommon–South Leitrim.
