Boundary changes: the revised constituencies
The Electoral Commission revised all constituency boundaries following Census 2022, which recorded Ireland's population at 5.15 million — up 8.1% from 2016. The revised map increased Dublin's representation to reflect population growth, added seats to commuter counties, and redrew boundaries across 43 constituencies from the previous 39.
Four new constituencies were created: Dublin Fingal East, Dublin Fingal West, Tipperary North, and Tipperary South. Total seats increased from 160 to 174.
2024 vs 2020 — what changed
The 2020 election saw Sinn Féin win the popular vote with 24.5% but form the opposition due to seat limitations. By 2024, Fianna Fáil (+9 seats) and Fine Gael (+3 seats) both recovered. Sinn Féin fell 9 seats from its 48-seat 2020 result. The Greens lost 4 seats, reflecting national and international polling trends for green parties.
