The constituency elected 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History

The constituency was created for the 1937 general election under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, replacing the old Carlow–Kilkenny and Kildare constituencies.

Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, the constituency was abolished, and the Carlow–Kilkenny and Kildare constituencies were re-created for the 1948 general election.

Boundaries

The constituency covered all of County Kildare, and most of County Carlow. Carlow–Kildare's boundaries were defined by the 1935 Act as:

"The administrative County of Kildare.

The administrative County of Carlow except the portion thereof which is comprised in the County Constituencies of Wicklow and Wexford."

The Act defines the parts of Carlow in the Wicklow constituency as:

"The district electoral divisions of:

Clonmore, Hacketstown, Haroldstown, Kineagh, Rahill, Rathvilly, Tiknock and Williamstown in the administrative County of Carlow."

The parts of Carlow in the Wexford constituency are defined as:

"The district electoral divisions of:

Ballyellin, Ballymurphy, Borris, Coonogue, Corries, Glynn, Killedmond, Kyle, Marley, Rathanna, Sliguff and Tinnahinch in the administrative County of Carlow."
