History and boundaries

The Constituency Commission proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a constituency called Limerick City be created from territory which had been in Limerick East. It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009. Limerick City was first represented at the 2011 general election. From the 2020 general election, the constituency has comprised Limerick City and suburbs, part of County Limerick and a small part of County Tipperary. The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as: In the Constituency Review Report 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the transfer of the electoral divisions of Birdhill, Kilcomenty and Newport to the new Tipperary North constituency, thereby making the Limerick constituencies contiguous with the county boundary.
