It returned 8 Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to the Dáil, using the using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
The constituency was created under the Government of Ireland Act 1920 to elect members to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and first used at the Irish elections, 1921 to return the members of the 2nd Dáil. It succeeded a combined set of Kerry and Limerick UK Parliament constituencies such as Kerry South which were used to elect the members of the 1st Dáil and earlier UK House of Commons members.
