Perspective
The Constituency Commission proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a constituency called Limerick City be created from territory which had been in Limerick East. It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009. Limerick City was first represented at the 2011 general election.
In the Constituency Review Report 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the transfer of the electoral divisions of Birdhill, Kilcomenty and Newport to the new Tipperary North constituency, thereby making the Limerick constituencies contiguous with the county boundary.[1]
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[2]
"In the city and county of Limerick, the electoral divisions of:
- Abbey A, Abbey B, Abbey C, Abbey D, Ballinacurra A, Ballinacurra B, Ballynanty, Castle A, Castle B, Castle C, Castle D, Coolraine, Custom House, Dock A, Dock B, Dock C, Dock D, Farranshone, Galvone A, Galvone B, Glentworth A, Glentworth B, Glentworth C, John's A, John's B, John's C, Killeely A, Killeely B, Market, Prospect A, Prospect B, Rathbane, Shannon A, Shannon B, Singland A, Singland B, St. Laurence,, in the former City of Limerick;
- Abington, Ballybricken, Ballycummin, Ballysimon, Ballyvarra, Caherconlish East, Caherconlish West, Castleconnell, Clonkeen, Glenstal, Limerick North Rural, Limerick South Rural, Roxborough, in the former Rural District of Limerick No. 1"
