History and boundaries

The constituency was created for the 1923 general election and elected 3 deputies to Dáil Éireann until 1977, this was increased to 4 deputies in 1981. In part this was because, in 1977, parts of the county had been placed in the constituencies of Dublin County Mid and Dublin County West,[1] while the 1981 constituency included the entire county.[2] The number of seats was increased to 5 for the 1992 general election. From the 1997 general election to the 2016 general election, the constituency included parts of East Carlow.[3]

The constituency spans the entire area of County Wicklow, including the towns of Wicklow, Arklow, Baltinglass, Greystones and Bray.[4]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[4]

"The county of Wicklow."
