History and boundaries

The constituency was created for the 1937 general election when the Dublin North constituency was divided into Dublin North-West and Dublin North-East. It was abolished in 1977 as a result of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974 when it was largely replaced by the Dublin Artane constituency before being recreated in 1981.[1] It was subsumed into the new Dublin Bay North constituency at the 2016 general election.
