Galway East is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

[edit]

The constituency was first used at the 1937 general election, under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, when the former Galway constituency was split into Galway East and Galway West. It was abolished in 1948 and recreated in 1961. It was abolished again in 1969 and recreated in 1977.

It spans much of the eastern half of County Galway, taking in the towns of Tuam, Portumna, Athenry and Loughrea among other areas.[1]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[2]

"In the county of Galway the electoral divisions of:

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Galway East be increased to a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory from Roscommon–Galway.[3]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[4]
