Dublin Mid-West is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects five deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
History and boundaries Dublin Mid-West contains the areas of Clondalkin, Lucan, Palmerstown, Rathcoole, Newcastle and Saggart. The constituency was created by the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998 as a three-seat constituency, composed of areas which had previously been in the constituencies of Dublin South-West and Dublin West, and came into operation at the 2002 general election. Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005, the town of Palmerstown was incorporated into Dublin Mid-West (having been in Dublin West), with an increase to 4 seats, taking effect at the 2007 general election. It has retained these boundaries since 2007.
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election Dublin Mid-West become a five-seat constituency, with transfers of territory from Dublin South-West and Dublin South-Central.
