History and boundaries
The constituency was created in 1921 as a 3 seater, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 general election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil.
It succeeded the constituencies of Cork East and Cork North East which were used to elect the Members of the 1st Dáil and earlier UK House of Commons members.
It was abolished under the Electoral Act 1923, when it was replaced by the new Cork East and Cork North constituencies which were first used at the 1923 general election for the Members of the 4th Dáil.[1]
It covered the northern eastern and eastern parts of County Cork.
