Dublin is a European Parliament constituency in Ireland. It elects 4 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) using proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.

History and boundaries

[edit]

The constituency was created in 1979 for the first direct elections to the European Parliament.[3] It has always contained the whole of County Dublin and the city of Dublin only (with the county defined since 1994 as the counties of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal, South Dublin).[4]

From 1979 to 2004, it elected 4 MEPs; this was reduced to 3 for the 2009 election. For the 2019 European Parliament election, a reapportionment following Brexit and the loss of 73 MEPs from the United Kingdom gave two additional seats to Ireland. Following a recommendation of the Constituency Commission, Dublin gained an extra seat, from 3 to 4. However, the last candidate elected did not take his seat until after the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union.[5][6][7][4][8]

  1. ^ Did not appear on the ballot as Rabharta. The Electoral Commission proposed the registration of the party to contest European and local elections on 12 April. However, as the proposed decision was subject to a 21-day appeal period, it was not in force for the 7 June 2024 elections.[28]

2019 election

[edit]

4 MEPs were elected in 2019 but the last MEP elected would not take their seat until a reallocation of seats in the European Parliament after Brexit had taken effect and the MEPs elected for the United Kingdom vacated their seats. This would take place on 31 January 2020

The count was suspended overnight after count 14 to clarify whether Lynn Boylan's votes should be redistributed between the two continuing candidates, Barry Andrews and Clare Daly.[24][31] The usual count rules had been amended so the practice of deeming candidates elected without reaching the quota would not apply.[32] The order in which candidates were elected was required as the candidate elected to the fourth seat would not take their seat until after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union.[23]
