All but one of the 39 Dáil constituencies have more than 30,000 people per TD, exceeding the representative people-per-deputy limit set by the Constitution
Each constituency can have three, four or five TDs and “the breaching of county boundaries shall be avoided as far as practicable”, the terms of the review state.
Under his analysis Dublin Mid-West and Dublin South-West between them should gain a seat and there should be one additional seat in either Dún Laoghaire or Dublin Rathdown. Similarly, there should be an extra seat between Dublin South-Central and Dublin Bay South. He says Carlow and Kilkenny “have between them population levels that are comfortably equivalent to six Dáil seats” and the current five-seater will have to be split into two three-seat constituencies.
The population in Donegal is now large enough to allow this county to be once again allocated six Dáil seats, up from five and it could be split between two three-seaters. The population of Clare is “now too large to allow it to remain as a stand-alone four-seat Dáil constituency, but not nearly large enough to allow the county to be assigned an extra seat”.
