Roscommon–Galway is a parliamentary constituency in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas in place since the 2016 general election. It returns 3 members (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

The constituency was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 and first used at the 2016 election. The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:

"The county of Roscommon, except the part which is comprised in the constituency of Sligo–Leitrim; and the county of Galway except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituencies of Galway East and Galway West."

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, the boundary of Roscommon–Galway be altered with the transfer of territory from Sligo–Leitrim and the transfer of territory to Galway East. It proposed the following boundaries:

"The county of Roscommon; and the county of Galway except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituencies of Galway East and Galway West."
