European Parliament constituencies in the Republic of Ireland

1

Ireland has 14 seats in the European Parliament. Elections are held on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). At the 2024 European Parliament election for the Tenth European Parliament, MEPs were elected from the following constituencies: In June 2023, the European Parliament adopted a resolution to add 11 MEPs. This was adopted by the European Council in September 2023. Ireland gained one MEP under this arrangement, increasing from 13 to 14. The Electoral Commission sought submissions on a review of European Parliament Constituencies. In a report in November 2023, it recommended that the additional seat be given to the constituency of Midlands–North-West, with the transfer of County Laois and County Offaly from South. This change was implemented by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023.
