County Cork

Cork North is a former parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. It existed from 1923–1961. It elected three (and sometimes four) Teachtaí Dála (TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).

Boundaries

It consisted of the county electoral areas of Kanturk and Macroom in the administrative county of Cork.

History

The constituency was created in 1923, under the Electoral Act 1923, for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann, whose members formed the 4th Dáil. The constituency returned three Teachtaí Dála initially. The number of seats was increased to four in 1937 but was reduced back to three in 1948.

It succeeded the constituency of Cork Mid, North, South, South East and West. It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1961, when it was replaced by the new constituency of Cork North East.
