  • Kildare was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The method of election was the Single Transferable Vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV). Covering all or part of County Kildare, the constituency existed for two distinct periods: from 1923 to 1937, and from 1948 to 1997. From 1923–1937 Kildare elected three deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs), until its was absorbed into a new Carlow-Kildare constituency in 1937. After its re-establishment in 1948 it initially elected three TDs. This was increased to 4 seats in 1961, reduced again to 3 in 1969, and increased to 5 from 1981 until its abolition in 1997. Its boundaries were significantly revised on several occasions. The constituency was abolished for the 1997 general election, when it was replaced by two new constituencies: Kildare North and Kildare South.
