Dublin County Mid was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland which from 1977–1981 was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. It returned 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, elected using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR–STV).

The constituency covered the Rathfarnham, Terenure and Tallaght areas of County Dublin, as well as Blessington and other areas of northern County Wicklow.

[edit] History

The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974, drawing its electorate from as part of the redistribution of constituencies (also known as the Tullymander) which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael/Labour government. It drew its electorate from the existing North County Dublin and South County Dublin constituencies.

It was abolished by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and divided between the constituencies of Dublin South, Dublin South West and Dublin South Central. It was therefore used only for the 1977 general election to the 21st Dáil.
