# Kildare–Wicklow (Dáil constituency)

Kildare–Wicklow was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1921 to 1923. 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 Government of Ireland Act 1920 to elect members to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and first used at the 1921 general election to return the members of the 2nd Dáil. It covered all of County Kildare and County Wicklow.
Kildare–Wicklow was used again for the 1922 general election to the Third Dáil. Under the Electoral Act 1923, it was replaced by the two new single county constituencies of Kildare and Wicklow.
