Cork South-Central is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980 and first used at the 1981 general election, taking in parts of the former Cork City and Cork Mid constituencies. It is a mixed urban-rural constituency encompassing the south of Cork City, county towns and a rural hinterland. It encompasses the electoral areas of Cork City south of the river Lee, together with most of the Carrigaline electoral area of County Cork, including the Ringaskiddy and Passage West areas.^[1]

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Cork South-Central be increased to a five-seat constituency with the transfer of territory from Cork North-Central.^[2]^[3]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:^[4]

"The city of Cork, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Cork North-Central and Cork North-West;
and, in the county of Cork, the electoral divisions of:

Carrigaline, Monkstown Urban, in the former Rural District of Cork;

and those parts contained in the county of Cork of the electoral divisions of:

Ballygarvan, Douglas, Inishkenny, Monkstown Rural, in the former Rural District of Cork;

Carrigaline, Kilpatrick, Liscleary, Templebreedy, in the former Rural District of Kinsale."
