# Newry (District Electoral Area)

Newry is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Newry, Mourne and Down, Northern Ireland. The district elects six members to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council and contains the wards of Abbey, Ballybot, Damolly, Drumalane, Fathom and St. Patrick's. Newry forms part of the Newry and Armagh constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, where it was called Newry Town until 2014, replacing Newry and Mourne Areas D and F which had existed since 1973, and originally contained seven wards (Ballybot, Daisy Hill, Drumalane, Drumgallion, St. Mary's, St. Patrick's and Windsor Hill). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced by one ward.
