Defined area
The Report on Dáil and European Parliament Constituencies 2007 recommended "that Louth should become a 5-seat constituency by extending the constituency southwards from, and in the environs of, Drogheda and taking in electoral divisions which have extensive linkages with the town. This will allow the inclusion of the town of Drogheda and hinterland areas in a single constituency."
The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defines the constituency as: "The county of Louth and, in the county of Meath, the electoral divisions of Julianstown, St. Mary’s (part), in the former Rural District of Meath."
