# Offaly (Dáil constituency)

Offaly is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects three 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

The Constituency Commission proposed in its 2012 report that at the next general election a new constituency called Offaly be created. The report proposed changes to the constituencies of Ireland so as to reduce the total number of TDs from 166 to 158.
It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013. The constituency incorporated all of County Offaly from the previous Laois–Offaly constituency, and additionally twenty-four electoral divisions from Tipperary North.
It was abolished at the 2020 general election, along with the Laois constituency. They were replaced by a re-created Laois–Offaly constituency, with the transfer of the electoral division of Portarlington North to Kildare South.
In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a three-seat constituency of Offaly, comprising the entire county of Offaly.
For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:
