Dublin Townships was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which from 1937–1948 was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. It elected three deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).

The constituency covered an area in the south and south-east of the newly-expanded boundaries of Dublin city, stretching from Sandymount and Ringsend and Sandymount on the coast to Rathgar in what was then southern suburbs of the city.

History

The constituency was created in 1937, under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, for the 1937 general election

It succeeded the constituency of Dublin County which was reduced in size. It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947.

Boundaries

The constituency consisted primarily of areas which had recently been incorporated into the expanded boundaries of Dublin City: the former Pembroke Township (comprising Ballsbridge, Donnybrook, Sandymount, Irishtown and Ringsend), as well as Clonskeagh, Rathmines and Rathgar.

The boundaries were defined by the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 as "The area referred to in the Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1930 , as the added urban districts and also so much of the land described in Part III of the First Schedule to the said Act as is contiguous to the said area and also the townland of Clonskeagh." The "added urban districts" are defined in the 1930 Act as "the urban district of Pembroke and the urban district of Rathmines and Rathgar".

The boundaries remained unchanged throughout the constituency's existence.
