Extracts from Constituency Report folows
Dublin West
The Dublin West constituency, minus the population of 17,291 transferred to Dublin Fingal, has a population of 99,923 and is not sustainable as a 4-seat constituency. The Commission recommends the transfer of two electoral divisions and part of another, with a total population of 13,256, from Dublin Central into Dublin West to provide for Dublin West to remain as a 4-seat constituency.
This arrangement of constituencies provides for the substantial part of the Fingal County Council area to be contained in two Dáil constituencies.
