History


The constituency was created for the 1937 general election,[1] when the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 split the old Carlow–Kilkenny constituency, with County Carlow being represented from 1937 through the new Carlow–Kildare constituency.


Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, the Kilkenny constituency was abolished, and Carlow–Kilkenny was restored for the 1948 general election.



Boundaries


Some Dáil constituencies cross county boundaries in order to ensure a reasonably consistent ratio of electors to TDs. However, the 1937 Act defines the boundaries of the Kilkenny constituency as being simply "the administrative County of Kilkenny".[1]
