History and boundaries
The constituency was created for the 2002 general election, composed of parts of the Dublin South West and Dublin West constituencies. It contains the areas of Clondalkin, Lucan, Rathcoole and Saggart.[1] The constituency review of 2004 recommended that the town of Palmerstown was incorporated into Dublin Mid–West (having been in Dublin West), and this was implemented in the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005.[2] The constituency elected 3 TDs in 2002, and gained a fourth seat at the 2007 general election.
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defines the constituency as:[1]
- "In the county of South Dublin the electoral divisions of:
- Clondalkin-Cappaghmore, Clondalkin-Dunawley, Clondalkin-Moorfield, Clondalkin-Rowlagh, Clondalkin Village, Lucan-Esker, Lucan Heights, Lucan-St. Helens, Newcastle, Palmerston Village, Palmerston West, Rathcoole, Saggart;
- and that part of the electoral division of Clondalkin-Monastery situated west of a line drawn along the M50 Western Parkway."
