Monaghan was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1921 to 1977. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
History
The constituency was created in 1921 as a 3-seat constituency, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil.
It succeeded the constituencies of Monaghan North and Monaghan South which were used to elect the Members of the 1st Dáil and earlier British House of Commons members.
It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974, when it was replaced by the new constituency of Cavan–Monaghan which was first used at the 1977 general election.
Boundaries
The constituency spanned the entire area of the County Monaghan.[1]
