Galway West is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 and first used at the 1937 general election, when the former Galway constituency was split into Galway East and Galway West.

It currently spans the western half of County Galway, taking in Galway city, the Galway Gaeltacht, and Clifden, as well as part of southern County Mayo.[1]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[2]

"The city of Galway;

and, in the county of Galway, the electoral divisions of:

Abhainn Ghabhla, An Cnoc Buí, An Uillinn, Ballynakill, Binn an Choire, Bunowen, Cleggan, Clifden, Cloch na Rón, Cushkillary, Derrycunlagh, Derrylea, Doonloughan, Errislannan, Inishbofin, Maíros, Rinvyle, Scainimh, Sillerna, in the former Rural District of Clifden;
An Carn Mór, An Spidéal, Árainn, Baile Chláir, Baile an Teampaill, Ballynacourty, Bearna, Ceathrú an Bhrúnaigh, Cill Aithnín, Clarinbridge, Eanach Dhúin, Galway Rural (part), Kilcummin, Leacach Beag, Liscananaun, Lisín an Bhealaigh, Maigh Cuilinn, Na Forbacha, Oranmore, Sailearna, Sliabh an Aonaigh, Tulaigh Mhic Aodháin, in the former Rural District of Galway;

and, in the county of Mayo, the electoral divisions of:

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, the portion of the constituency in County Mayo be transferred to the constituency of Mayo.[3]
