History and boundaries

The constituency has had two separate periods of existence:

• from the 1923 general election until its abolition at the 1969 general election,^[1] when it was amalgamated into the Roscommon–Leitrim constituency, which in turn existed until the 1981 general election. At different periods it returned 4, 3 or 4 TDs. It comprised the administrative county of Roscommon.
• as a 3-seat constituency from the 1981 general election until its abolition at the 1992 general election to be replaced by the 4-seat constituency of Longford–Roscommon. It comprised the administrative county of Roscommon; and, in the administrative county of Galway, the district electoral divisions of: Ballinastack, Ballymoe, Ballynakill, Boyounagh, Creggs, Island, Kilcroan, Templetogher, Toberroe, in the former Rural District of Glennamaddy.^[2]

For the 2007 general election, the county was represented by the new Roscommon–South Leitrim constituency.
