Offaly (Dáil constituency)

The Constituency Commission proposed in its 2012 report that at the next general election a new constituency called Offaly be created.^[1] The report proposed changes to the constituencies of Ireland so as to reduce the total number of TDs from 166 to 158.^[2]

It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013.^[3] The constituency incorporated all of County Offaly from the previous Laois–Offaly constituency, and additionally twenty-four electoral divisions from Tipperary North.

It was abolished at the 2020 general election, along with the Laois constituency. They were replaced by a re-created Laois–Offaly constituency, with the transfer of the electoral division of Portarlington North to Kildare South.^[4]

In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a three-seat constituency of Offaly, comprising the entire county of Offaly.^[5]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:^[6]

"The county of Offaly."
