History

The constituency was created under the Electoral Act 1923 for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann, whose members formed the 4th Dáil.[1]

From 1923 to 1948, Mayo South elected 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, this was reduced to 4 with effect from the 1948 general election.[2]

It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969, when it and Mayo North were replaced by the two new constituencies of Mayo East and Mayo West.[3]

Boundaries

The constituency covered the county electoral areas of Castlebar, Claremorris and Westport, in the administrative county of Mayo.[1]
