Limerick was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 1923 and 1948, elected on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). It covered the entire city and county of Limerick. Another constituency of the same name existed between 2011 and 2016, which was later renamed as Limerick County.

History and boundaries

The constituency was a 7-seat constituency under the Electoral Act 1923 for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann; those elected comprised the 4th Dáil. It succeeded the constituencies of Limerick City–Limerick East and Kerry–Limerick West which were used to elect members to the 2nd Dáil and the 3rd Dáil.

It covered Limerick city and all of County Limerick. It continued in existence when a revision took effect in 1937. It was abolished at the 1948 Irish general election, when it was replaced by the two new constituencies of Limerick East and Limerick West.
