Cavan–Monaghan is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects five 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 created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974 from the former constituencies of Cavan and Monaghan and was first used at the 1977 general election.{{cite Irish legislation|year=1974|number=7|name=Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974|date=7 May 1974|schedule=y|stitle=Constituencies|access-date=22 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120102107/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1974/en/act/pub/0007/sched1.html|archive-date=20 January 2012}}
The constituency includes the entire area of both County Cavan and County Monaghan, taking in Cavan town, Monaghan town, Clones, Cootehill, Belturbet, Bailieborough, Castleblayney and Carrickmacross.
At the 2016 general election, 36 electoral divisions in the west of County Cavan were transferred to the Sligo–Leitrim constituency and Cavan–Monaghan became a 4-seat constituency.{{cite ISB|title=Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013|schedule=y|year=2013|num=7|stitle=Constituencies|access-date=29 January 2016|archive-date=13 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200213091602/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2013/act/7/schedule/enacted/en/html|url-status=live}} This was reversed by the Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017, which took effect at the 2020 general election.
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Cavan–Monaghan remain as a five-seat constituency, consisting of the whole of the counties of Cavan and Monaghan, with the area in the north of County Meath transferred to Meath East.{{cite web |title=Constituency Review Report 2023 |url=https://ec-report.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/constituency-review-report-2023.pdf#page=58 |website=Electoral Commission |pages=58}}
For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:
{{quote frame|"The county of Cavan and the county of Monaghan."}}
Constituency profile
Cavan–Monaghan is predominantly rural with 75% of the population living outside the main towns. Manufacturing, construction and agriculture are the largest sectors of the local economy.{{cite web|url=http://www.oireachtas.ie/documents/library/constituencies_profiles/Cavan_Monaghan.pdf|title=Constituency profile: Cavan–Monaghan|publisher=Houses of the Oireachtas|year=2008|access-date=19 November 2011|archive-date=14 November 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114120337/http://www.oireachtas.ie/documents/library/constituencies_profiles/Cavan_Monaghan.pdf|url-status=live}}
It is a border constituency and has historically been strongly Republican; hunger striker Kieran Doherty won a seat in the 1981 general election as an Anti H-Block candidate. In 1997, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin, became the first TD elected for Sinn Féin in any constituency since 1957. In recent elections, the constituency has seen mainly a three-way fight between Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil.
