 The Offaly population is not large enough to allow for a stand-alone three-seat Offaly County constituency (population per TD ratio of 00.0% above the national average). In a similar vein, the Tipperary population is too large enough to allow for a stand-alone five-seat Tipperary County constituency (population per TD ratio of 0.00% above the national average). With the population levels in the existing Offaly (and north Tipperary) and Tipperary constituencies being almost the ideal numbers for a three-seat and five-seat Dail constituency, respectively, the scenario here would appear to be one that very much edges towards the current status quo being maintained; boundary changes appear unlikely here.
