Erne North DEA (1993–2014) within Fermanagh

Erne North is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Fermanagh and Omagh, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and contains the wards of Ballinamallard, Belleek and Boa, Ederney and Kesh, Irvinestown and Tempo.[2] Erne North forms part of the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Fermanagh Area D which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained five wards (Ballinamallard, Belleek and Boa, Ederny and Lack, Irvinestown and Kesh and Lisnarrick).
