Sligo–North Leitrim was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 2007 to 2016. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
History and boundaries
The constituency was created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005,{{cite web |title=Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005: Schedule |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2005/en/act/pub/0016/sched.html#sched|work=Irish Statute Book database |accessdate=24 September 2010}} which gave effect to the 2004 Constituency Commission Report on Dáil Constituencies and was first used at the 2007 general election. It largely replaced the previous constituency of Sligo–Leitrim, although it ceded the southern half of Leitrim to the new constituency of Roscommon–South Leitrim, though a subsequent revision in 2007 restored a portion of South Leitrim to the constituency. It consisted of all of County Sligo and the parts of County Leitrim, contained in the Local Electoral Areas of Dromahair and Manorhamilton.{{cite web |title=Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009: Schedule |url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2009/en/act/pub/0004/sched.html |work=Irish Statute Book database |accessdate=29 September 2010}}
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defined the constituency as:
{{quote frame|"The county of Sligo and the county of Leitrim, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Roscommon–South Leitrim."}}
It was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the re-created Sligo–Leitrim constituency.
