On 26 July 2011, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government Phil Hogan announced the proposed merger of North Tipperary County Council and South Tipperary County Council.[1] It was abolished on 3 June 2014 when the Local Government Reform Act 2014 was implemented.[2] It was succeeded by Tipperary County Council.
For the purpose of elections the county was divided into four local electoral areas: Nenagh (6), Newport (5), Templemore (5), and Thurles (5).[3]
