Constituency Commission

Tuesday 30th of September 1997 - Tuesday 27th of June 2017

The function of the Constituency Commission is to periodically make reports in relation to the constituencies for the election of members to the Dáil, and/or the election of representatives to the European Parliament. In certain circumstances a European Parliament Constituencies Committee may be formed in lieu of the Constituency Commission. Note: A single ISAD entry is used for this body but it should be noted that the 'start' and 'end' date indicates the period of time in which various separate Constituency Commissions have been intermittently activated and deactivated.
