History
The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974[1] as part of the redistribution of constituencies which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael–Labour Party government. It drew its electorate from the existing Dublin County North and Dublin County South constituencies.
It was abolished by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and divided between the constituencies of Dublin South, Dublin South-West and Dublin South-Central. It was only used for the 1977 general election to the 21st Dáil.
