County council County Tipperary

1923–1948

The constituency was created under the Electoral Act 1923, and was first used at the 1923 general election, replacing the previous Tipperary Mid, North and South constituency and the Tipperary part of the Waterford–Tipperary East constituency.

It consisted of administrative counties of Tipperary North Riding and Tipperary South Riding.[1] The constituency elected 7 deputies.

Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, it was abolished and divided into two new constituencies: Tipperary South and Tipperary North. These constituencies were first used for the 1948 general election

Since 2016

The Constituency Commission proposed in its 2012 report that at the next general election a new constituency called Tipperary be created.[2] The report proposed changes to the constituencies of Ireland so as to reduce the total number of TDs from 166 to 158.[3]

It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013.[4] It will replace the constituencies of Tipperary North and Tipperary South. The new constituency will incorporate all of South Tipperary and most of North Tipperary, except for the electoral divisions of: Aglishcloghane, Ballingarry, Ballylusky, Borrisokane, Carrig, Cloghjordan, Cloghprior, Clohaskin, Finnoe, Graigue, Kilbarron, Lorrha East, Lorrha West, Mertonhall, Rathcabban, Redwood, Riverstown, Terryglass, Uskane, in the former Rural District of Borrisokane; and Ardcrony, Ballygibbon, Ballymackey, Knigh, Monsea, in the former Rural District of Nenagh, which will be in the Offaly constituency.

The 2013 Act defines the constituency as:[4]

"The county of South Tipperary;
and the county of North Tipperary, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Offaly."
