Dublin North-East was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 1937 to 1977 and from 1981 to 2016. The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). History and boundaries The constituency was created for the 1937 general election when the Dublin City North constituency was divided into Dublin North-West and Dublin North-East. It was abolished in 1977 as a result of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974 when it was largely replaced by the Dublin Artane constituency before being recreated in 1981. It was subsumed into the new Dublin Bay North constituency at the 2016 general election.
