Limerick City-Limerick East is a former parliamentary constituency in the Irish Free State, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. Covering Limerick city and the eastern part of County Limerick, it existed from 1921–1923. It elected four deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History
The constituency was created in 1921 as a 4-seater, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil.
It succeeded the constituencies of Limerick City and East Limerick which were used to elect the Members of the 1st Dáil and earlier UK House of Commons members.
It was abolished under the Electoral Act 1923, when it was replaced by the new Limerick constituency which was first used in the 1923 general election for the Members of the 4th Dáil.
