It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013. The constituency incorporates the entirety of the former Dublin South-East constituency with the addition of territory from Dublin South-Central, centred on Terenure and Harold's Cross. The constituency was named Dublin Bay South for "reasons of symmetry", with the new Dublin Bay North constituency.

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election Dublin Bay South be altered by the transfer of territory to Dublin South-Central.

The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:

"In the city of Dublin, the electoral divisions of:
Mansion House A, Mansion House B, Pembroke East A, Pembroke East B, Pembroke East C, Pembroke East D, Pembroke East E, Pembroke West A, Pembroke West B, Pembroke West C, Rathfarnham, Rathmines East A, Rathmines East B, Rathmines East C, Rathmines East D, Rathmines West A, Rathmines West B, Rathmines West C, Rathmines West D, Rathmines West E, Rathmines West F, Royal Exchange A, Royal Exchange B, St. Kevin's, South Dock, Terenure A, Terenure B, Terenure C, Terenure D, Wood Quay A, Wood Quay B."

Voting patterns

In 2021, Dublin Bay South was characterised as a "Fine Gael heartland" by some of the Irish national media, noting the area (as Dublin South-East) was once the seat of Fine Gael leaders John A. Costello and Garret FitzGerald and their historical performance in the area. However, it has also been the seat of party leaders Ruairi Quinn and Ivana Bacik of the Labour Party, Michael McDowell of the Progressive Democrats, and John Gormley and Eamon Ryan of the Green Party. Dublin Bay South has been called "one of the most liberal constituencies in the country" as well as "one of the wealthiest". As Dublin South-East, the area had the highest vote against the introduction of the Eighth Amendment in 1983, and in the 2018 referendum it had the highest vote in favour of repealing it. It has been noted that between the Labour Party, the Green Party, the Social Democrats and Democratic Left, centre-left parties have won at least 29% of the vote in every election in the area between 1981 and 2021.

The constituency has been marked by the consistently low-voter turnout, normally coming in at 54%; this can be partially attributed to the high rate of residential turnover in the areas of Rathmines and Ranelagh.

As of 2021, half of adults in the constituency have been described as professionals, 57% of individuals have third-level qualifications, and 44% live in privately rented apartments.
