Midlands–North-West is a European Parliament constituency in Ireland. It elects 5 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.
History and boundaries
Midlands–North-West was created for the 2014 European Parliament election when Ireland's allocation of seats was reduced from 12 to 11 due to the accession of Croatia to the European Union. It followed a recommendation of a 2013 Constituency Commission report on European Parliament constituencies in Ireland. It consisted of the old North-West constituency, except for County Clare which was moved to the South constituency; as well the northern and central Leinster part of the East constituency.{{cite web|url=http://www.constituency-commission.ie/ep/docs/report-on-european-parliament-constituencies-2013.pdf|title=Report on European Parliament Constituencies 2013|work=Constituency Commission|date=25 September 2013|access-date=25 September 2013|archive-date=23 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210123052113/http://www.constituency-commission.ie/ep/docs/report-on-european-parliament-constituencies-2013.pdf|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0925/476431-european-parliament/|title=New Irish MEP constituencies announced|work=RTÉ News|date=25 September 2013|access-date=25 September 2013|archive-date=25 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130925195853/http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0925/476431-european-parliament/|url-status=live}} The Irish Times criticised the wide geographic spread of the constituency, calling it "a heterogeneous mish-mash of counties with little historic or cultural connection to each other". It was nicknamed "Malin M50" for its wide spread, from the suburbs of Dublin to the Atlantic seaboard.{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/illogical-constituencies-to-make-for-unpredictable-euro-election-1.1711020|title=Illogical constituencies to make for unpredictable Euro election|first=Harry|last=McGee|author-link=Harry McGee|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=3 March 2014|access-date=23 June 2014|archive-date=23 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140723122608/http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/illogical-constituencies-to-make-for-unpredictable-euro-election-1.1711020|url-status=live}}
For the 2019 European Parliament election, a reapportionment following Brexit and the loss of 73 MEPs from the United Kingdom gave two additional seats to Ireland. Following a recommendation of the Constituency Commission, counties Laois and Offaly were moved to the South constituency, with Midlands–North-West maintaining its 4 seats.{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2018/0924/995830-european-parliament-seats/|first=Paul|last=Cunningham|title=Dublin and Ireland South to gain extra European Parliament seats|work=RTÉ News|date=24 September 2018|access-date=25 September 2018|archive-date=17 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200917072709/https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2018/0924/995830-european-parliament-seats/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.constituency-commission.ie/ep/docs/Report%20on%20European%20Parliament%20Constituencies%202018.pdf|title=Report on European Parliament Constituencies 2018|date=24 September 2018|access-date=23 March 2019|website=Constituency Commission|archive-date=2 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190502004559/http://www.constituency-commission.ie/ep/docs/Report%20on%20European%20Parliament%20Constituencies%202018.pdf|url-status=live}}
At the 2024 European Parliament election, Midlands–North-West increased to 5 seats, with the transfer of County Laois and County Offaly from South.{{cite Irish legislation|year=2023|number=40|section=5|stitle=Amendment of European Parliament Elections Act 1997|name=Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023|date=19 December 2023|access-date=22 February 2024}} This followed a recommendation of the Electoral Commission, where Ireland had been allocated one additional MEP.
