Cork City South-East was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1969 to 1977. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969 for the 1969 general election to Dáil Éireann. The old Cork Borough constituency was divided into the new constituencies of Cork City North-West and Cork City South-East. It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974, when the Cork City North West and Cork City South East constituencies were replaced by the new constituency of Cork City.

Boundaries

The constituency comprised the southern part of Cork city and suburbs.{{cite web |title=Electoral (Amendment) Act, 1969: Schedule (Constituencies) |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1969/en/act/pub/0003/sched1.html |work=Irish Statute Book database |access-date=28 February 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131015100825/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1969/en/act/pub/0003/sched1.html |archive-date=15 October 2013 |df=dmy-all }}
