History and boundaries

Perspective

The constituency was first used at the 1997 general election, when the former 5-seat Kildare constituency was divided into Kildare South and Kildare North.

The Kildare South constituency spans the more rural southern and western areas of County Kildare, taking in the towns of Newbridge, Kildare, Athy, Caragh and many other areas. At the 2020 general election, it gained an extra seat to become a 4-seat constituency.[1]

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, the boundary of Kildare South be altered with the transfer of territory to Kildare North, Laois and Offaly.[2]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]

"The county of Kildare, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Kildare North."
