 The population of Wicklow County is large enough to allow for the creation of a stand-alone Wicklow County five-seat constituency (population per TD ratio of 0.0% above the national average - in a 000-seat scenario), without requiring the addition of the part of eastern Carlow that is currently located within that constituency. Furthermore, the combined population of the counties of Kilkenny and Carlow is now just about small enough to allow for the return of eastern Carlow to create a five-seat constituency comprised of the territories of both counties (population per TD ratio of 0.0% above the national average). There now seems to be no reason why the Commission might not address this (Wicklow-Carlow) county boundary breach.
