Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023

Under the Electoral Reform Act 2022, it was required to consider a revision of constituencies in light of the 2022 census.

On 30 August 2023, the commission delivered a report in which it proposed several changes to Dáil constituencies, increasing the number of seats in the Dáil from 160 to 174, while increasing the number of constituencies from 39 to 43.

[2] In June 2023, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to add an additional 11 MEPs.

Ireland would gain one MEP under this arrangement, increasing from 13 to 14.

[6][7] The Act implemented the recommendations of both these reports and repealed the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017, which had defined the constituencies in use since the 2020 general election.
