The '''2019 European Parliament election in Ireland''' is the Irish component of the [[2019 European Parliament election]] and was held on Friday, 24 May 2019, on the same day as the [[2019 Irish local elections|2019 local elections]] and a [[Thirty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2016|referendum easing restrictions on divorce]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.housing.gov.ie/local-government/voting/local-elections/polling-day-orders-made-european-and-local-elections|title=Polling Day Orders made for European and local elections|website=[[Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government]]|date=25 March 2019|access-date=27 March 2019}}</ref> The election was conducted in three [[European Parliament constituency|constituencies]] under the [[single transferable vote]] (STV). Thirteen MEPs were elected, but the last candidate elected in both [[Dublin (European Parliament constituency)|Dublin]] and [[South (European Parliament constituency)|South]] did not take their seats until after [[Brexit]] on 31 January 2020.

==Constituency changes==
{{See also|Apportionment in the European Parliament#2019 election}}
The [[United Kingdom]] [[United Kingdom invocation of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union|invoked Article 50]] to [[Withdrawal from the European Union|withdraw from the European Union]] on 29 March 2017 following the [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|2016 referendum]] to [[Brexit|leave the European Union]]. As Article 50 has a two-year period for withdrawal, the United Kingdom would not be part of the [[2019 European Parliament election]] scheduled for May 2019. In July 2018, the [[European Council]] made a decision to redistribute a number of the seats from the United Kingdom to other member states. The allocation of [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]]s from Ireland increased from 11 to 13; however, this change would not take effect until the United Kingdom has left the EU, which took place on 31 January 2020. As the United Kingdom was still a member of the EU at the beginning of the 2019–2024 parliamentary term, the allocation of seats will remain as it was in the previous parliament, until its withdrawal becomes legally effective.<ref>{{CELEX|32018D0937|text=European Council Decision (EU) 2018/937 of 28 June 2018 establishing the composition of the European Parliament}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/europe/2018/0207/939056-eu-parliament-meps-vote/|title=Number of Irish MEPs set to increase post-Brexit|work=RTÉ News|date=7 February 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2018/0612/969919-european-parliament/|work=[[RTÉ News]]|title=Ireland set to gain two extra EU parliament seats after Brexit|date=12 June 2018}}</ref>

A [[Constituency Commission]] chaired by [[High Court (Ireland)|High Court]] judge [[Robert Haughton]] was established by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government in July 2018 to redraw constituencies in line with the change in seats.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2018/si/279/made/en/print|title=S.I.

*[[Dublin (European Parliament constituency)|Dublin]] gains an extra seat from 3 to 4; with no boundary changes. Full electorate is 884,118, giving electorate of 221,029.5 per seat.
*[[South (European Parliament constituency)|South]] gains an extra seat from 4 to 5, and gains counties [[County Laois|Laois]] and [[County Offaly|Offaly]] from Midlands–North-West. Full electorate is 1,417,017, giving electorate of 283,403.4 per seat.
*[[Midlands–North-West (European Parliament constituency)|Midlands–North-West]] loses Laois and Offaly to South, but remains a 4 seater. Full electorate is 1,224,888, giving electorate of 306,222 per seat.

The European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Act 2019 enacted the changes recommended by the Constituency Commission.<ref name="ea-2019.7">{{Cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/act/7/section/7/enacted/en/html|title=European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Act 2019, Substitution of Third Schedule to Principal Act|date=12 March 2019|access-date=11 April 2019|website=Irish Statute Book}}</ref>

It also provided for the situation that Ireland's representation remained at 11 with an amendment to the rules, "For the purpose of the European elections held in the year 2019, the return made by the chief [[returning officer]] […] shall declare that the last candidate deemed to be elected […] in each of the constituencies of Dublin and South as specified in the Third Schedule, shall not take up their seats in the European Parliament until such time as a date has been specified by the Parliament for the taking up of such seats".<ref name="ea-2019.6">{{Cite web|url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2019/act/7/section/6/enacted/en/html|title=European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Act 2019, Section 6|date=12 March 2019|access-date=11 April 2019|website=Irish Statute Book}}</ref>

[[Taoiseach]] [[Leo Varadkar]] had incorrectly suggested that the votes would be counted twice in the constituencies which had an increased number of seats, to account for either contingency. However, [[Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government]] [[Eoghan Murphy]] later clarified that there would be only one count for each constituency, and that the final candidate to be deemed elected in [[Dublin (European Parliament constituency)|Dublin]] and [[South (European Parliament constituency)|South]] would not take their seats until the withdrawal of the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite news |last1=McMorrow |first1=Conor |title=No 'double counts' after European elections - Murphy |url=https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2019/0418/1043402-european-elections/ |access-date=19 April 2019 |work=RTÉ |date=18 April 2019 |language=en}}; {{cite web |title=Questions on Promised Legislation |url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/2019-04-18/speech/220/ |website=Dáil Éireann (32nd Dáil) debates |publisher=Oireachtas |access-date=19 April 2019 |language=en-ie |date=18 April 2019}}</ref>

==Opinion polls==
===Party opinion polling===
====Nationwide====
<!-- Opinion polls are listed by default in reverse chronological order - latest first - but users can sort the table. In order to preserve the ability to sort by polling company, please increment the relevant data-sort-value by one each time you add a new poll. So a new Behaviour & Attitudes poll would become "B&A14" if the last one was "B&A13". Please also wikilink the most recent poll (link goes to the publishing media outlet, piped to show the commissioning publisher and polling company) and please also unlink the prior poll from that company. -->
<!-- Talk page consensus is to NOT add "events" such as party leadership changes. -->
