The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

## History and boundaries

The constituency was created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005, which gave effect to the 2004 Constituency Commission Report on Dáil Constituencies and was first used at the 2007 general election.

It consisted of all of County Sligo and the parts of County Leitrim, contained in the Local Electoral Areas of Dromahair and Manorhamilton.
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defined the constituency as:
It was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the re-created Sligo–Leitrim constituency.
