History and boundaries
The Constituency Commission proposed in its 2012 report that at the next general election a new constituency called Offaly be created.[1] The report proposed changes to the constituencies of Ireland so as to reduce the total number of TDs from 166 to 158.[2]
It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013.[3] The constituency incorporated all of County Offaly from the previous Laois–Offaly constituency, and additionally twenty-four electoral divisions from Tipperary North.
It was abolished at the 2020 general election, along with the Laois constituency. They were replaced by a re-created Laois–Offaly constituency, with the transfer of the electoral division of Portarlington North to Kildare South.[4]
In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a three-seat constituency of Offaly, comprising the entire county of Offaly.[5]
For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[6]
"The county of Offaly."
