History and boundaries
The Constituency Commission proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a new constituency called Limerick City be created.
It was established by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 when it replaced the former constituency of Limerick East. Most of the rural parts of the Limerick East constituency were transferred to the Limerick constituency, itself now abolished. Limerick City was first represented at the 2011 general election.
The constituency comprises Limerick City and suburbs, part of County Limerick and a small part of County Clare.
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 defines the constituency as:
"The city of Limerick; and, in the county of Limerick, the electoral divisions of: Abington, Ballybricken, Ballycummin, Ballysimon, Ballyvarra, Caherconlish East, Caherconlish West, Castleconnell, Cappamore, Clonkeen, Doon West, Glenstal, Limerick South Rural, Roxborough, in the former Rural District of Limerick No. 1; Bilboa, in the former Rural District of Tipperary No. 2; and, in the county of Clare, the electoral division of: Ballyglass in the former Rural District of Meelick."TDs
