Dublin South is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

Boundaries

A Dublin South constituency had existed from 1921 to 1948 when it was abolished.[1] The current constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and was first used for the 1981 general election.[2]

The legislation establishing the seat defined it as consisting of the wards of:[2] Pembroke East D, Rathfarnham B, Rathfarnham C, Rathfarnham South together with the district electoral divisions of: Dundrum Number One, Dundrum Number Two, Dundrum Number Three, Dundrum Number Four, Dundrum Number Five, Glencullen, Milltown Number One, Milltown Number Two, Rathfarnham Number One, Rathfarnham Number Two, Stillorgan Number One, Whitechurch and the part of the district electoral division of Firhouse Number One situated south of the centre of the River Dodder.

Of these, Pembroke East D and Dundrum number one had been in Dublin South–East in 1977.[3] All five Rathfarnam wards as well as Whitechurch had been in the abolished Dublin County Mid seat while Dundrum 2–5 along with Glencullen and Milltown 1–2 had been in Dublin County South constituency while Stilorgan one had been divided between Dublin County South and Dún Laoghaire.

The current constituency covers the Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and South Dublin county areas. It covers areas such as Stillorgan (west of the N11 road), Cabinteely (west of the N11 road), Dundrum, Mount Merrion, Kilmacud, Goatstown, Rathfarnham, Sandyford, Stepaside, Kilternan, Ballinteer, Churchtown and Ballyboden.[4]

The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defines the area of the constituency as:[4]

In the county of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown the electoral divisions of:
Ballinteer-Broadford, Ballinteer-Ludford, Ballinteer-Marley, Ballinteer-Meadowbroads, Ballinteer-Meadowmount, Ballinteer-Woodpark, Cabinteely-Loughlinstown, Churchtown-Castle, Churchtown-Landscape, Churchtown-Nutgrove, Churchtown-Orwell, Churchtown-Woodlawn, Clonskeagh-Belfield, Clonskeagh-Farranboley, Clonskeagh-Milltown, Clonskeagh-Roebuck, Clonskeagh-Windy Arbour, Dundrum-Balally, Dundrum-Kilmacud, Dundrum-Sandyford, Dundrum-Sweetmount, Dundrum-Taney, Foxrock-Carrickmines, Foxrock-Torquay, Glencullen, Stillorgan-Deerpark, Stillorgan-Kilmacud, Stillorgan-Leopardstown, Stillorgan-Merville, Stillorgan-Mount Merrion, Tibradden;
and, in the county of South Dublin, the electoral divisions of:
Ballyboden, Edmondstown, Firhouse-Ballycullen, Firhouse-Knocklyon, Rathfarnham-Ballyroan, Rathfarnham-Butterfield, Rathfarnham-Hermitage, Rathfarnham-St. Enda's, Rathfarnham Village.

Constituency profile

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Volatile, unpredictable and utterly ruthless, Dublin South voters have hired and fired TDs with abandon over the years

— Irish Times description of the constituency, August 2012[5]

One of Ireland's most affluent constituencies, the 2006 Census reported that residents tend to have higher-than-average levels of educational attainment, especially in terms of third-level qualifications, and are much more likely to work in professional and managerial positions.[6]

4 sitting TDs contested the first election of the revived constituency in 1981[7] with former Dublin County South TDs Niall Andrews and John Kelly re-elected for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael respectively. Dublin County South's third TD John Horgan of the Labour Party, lost his seat as did Síle de Valera of Fianna Fáil who was an outgoing TD for Dublin County Mid. This represented the first time in the history of the state that a member of the De Valera family had failed in an election bid.[8]

In the three elections of 1981 and 1982 Fine Gael won three seats against two for Fianna Fáil. In 1987 the Progressive Democrats gained a seat from Fine Gael. In 1989 however they lost the seat to the Green Party who made their electoral breakthrough here.

In 1992 a strong performance from the Labour Party saw them win their first seat in Dublin South, with Fianna Fáil winning two and Fine Gael and the Progressive Democrats one apiece. Incumbent Green Party TD, Roger Garland, lost his seat, gaining a mere 3.8% of the first preference vote. Five years later, the Labour Party lost their seat to Fine Gael, with Eithne FitzGerald's first preference vote declining dramatically from 28.9% to 10.6%, underlining Dublin South's reputation for volatility.

In 2002 Fianna Fáil won two seats with the Green Party, Progressive Democrats and Fine Gael all winning one seat. The 2007 general election saw Progressive Democrats TD Liz O'Donnell lose her seat to Fine Gael, the only seat change to occur in that election. The death of sitting TD Séamus Brennan on 9 July 2008 precipitated a by-election, which was won by George Lee on 6 June 2009. Lee was elected on the first count receiving over 53% of the 1st preference vote. Lee resigned on 8 February 2010, after 9 months in the Dáil citing dissatisfaction with the role he was playing within Fine Gael.

The 2011 general election saw the Green Party's Eamon Ryan lose his seat. Fine Gael won three seats with 36% of the vote, a feat Olivia Mitchell attributed to good vote management, and the Labour Party and the Independent Senator Shane Ross taking the remaining two seats.
