Cork City was a short-lived parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1977 to 1981. The constituency elected 5 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 and boundaries
The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974.[1] It was only used for the 1977 general election and a by-election in 1979. The constituency was defined as the county borough of Cork, except the part which was in the Cork Mid constituency.[1] It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and replaced by Cork North-Central and Cork South-Central.
