Template:Short description Template:Use Hiberno-English Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox constituency Meath West is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects three deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 when the previous 5-seat Meath constituency was divided into two 3-seat constituencies of Meath East and Meath West.[1] It was first used at the 2007 general election to the 30th Dáil. The town of Kells was moved to Meath East at the 2011 general election. The part of County Westmeath in the constituency was moved to Longford–Westmeath at the 2024 general election.

It spans the western portions of County Meath, including the towns of Trim and Navan.[2]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]

"The county of Meath, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Louth and Meath East."
