Meath East is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 3 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
It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 when the previous 5-seat Meath constituency was divided into two 3-seat constituencies of Meath East and Meath West.[1] It was first used at the 2007 general election to the 30th Dáil.
It spans the eastern portions of County Meath. It includes Nobber, Slane, Dunboyne, Kells and Ashbourne, the constituency's biggest town.[2]
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[3]
"In the county of Meath the electoral divisions of:
- Grangegeeth, Killary, in the former Rural District of Ardee No. 2;
- Culmullin, Donaghmore, Dunboyne, Dunshaughlin, Kilbrew, Killeen, Kilmore, Rathfeigh, Ratoath, Rodanstown, Skreen, in the former Rural District of Dunshaughlin;

- Ardmulchan, Castletown, Domhnach Phádraig, Kentstown, Painestown, Rathkenny, Slane, Stackallan, Tara, in the former Rural District of Navan;
- and Ceannanas Mór Urban."
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Meath East be increased to a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory from Cavan–Monaghan and Louth.[4]
For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[5]
"In the county of Meath, the electoral divisions of:

- Culmullin, Donaghmore, Dunboyne, Dunshaughlin, Kilbrew, Killeen, Kilmore, Rathfeigh, Ratoath, Rodanstown, Skreen, in the former Rural District of Dunshaughlin;
