History and boundaries
[edit]It is a largely rural constituency within County Cork, running from Dursey Island in the west to Ringabella in the east, with many medium-sized towns, including Bandon, Bantry, Clonakilty, Kinsale and Skibbereen.
It was first used at the 1961 general election. The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[1]
"The county of Cork, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Cork East, Cork North-Central, Cork North-West and Cork South-Central."
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that no change be made at the next general election.[2]
