Sligo is a former parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. Covering the most (but not all) of County Sligo, it existed from 1937 to 1948. It elected three Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History
The constituency was created for the 1937 general election, when the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 split the old Leitrim-Sligo constituency, with County Leitrim being represented from 1937 through the new Leitrim constituency.
Under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1947, the Sligo constituency was abolished, and the Sligo-Leitrim constituency was created for the 1948 general election.
Boundaries
Some Dáil Éireann constituencies cross county boundaries, in order to ensure a reasonably consistent ratio of electors to TDs. The 1937 Act defined the boundaries of the Sligo constituency as being:
"The administrative County of Sligo except the portion thereof which is comprised in the County Constituency of Leitrim."
The boundaries of the Leitrim constituency were defined as:
"The administrative County of Leitrim and The District Electoral Divisions of: Ballintogher East, Ballynakill, Ballynashee, Cliffony North, Cliffony South, Drumcolumb, Killadoon, Kilmactranny, Rossinver East and Shancough in the administrative County of Sligo."
TDs
Note: no by-elections were held in the Sligo constituency
