Revision as of 05:01, 3 January 2009 by Lightbot (talk | contribs) (Units/dates/other)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Template:Dáil Éireann constituency infobox Sligo-North Leitrim is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency was created for the 2007 general election. The constituency is served by three Teachtaí Dála (TDs). The method of election is the Single Transferable Vote.
The constituency was created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005, which gave effect to the 2004 Constituency Commission Report on Dáil Constituencies. Consisting of all of County Sligo and the northern part of County Leitrim, it largely replaced the previous constituency of Sligo-Leitrim, although it ceded the southern portions of Leitrim to the new constituency of Roscommon-South Leitrim.
