No 16 of 2005 - Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005
What does this law do?
The main purpose of this Act is to revise the Dáil constituencies in the light of the 2002 Census of Population and, in this context, to implement the recommendations contained in the Constituency Commission's Report on Dáil Constituencies 2004. The Commission was established under Part II of the Electoral Act 1997 (No. 25 of 1997) to report on the constituencies for the election of members to Dáil Éireann and the European Parliament; its 2003 report related to European Parliament constituencies. The Act also addresses an issue that had arisen in relation to the definition of election expenses for the purposes of the Electoral Act 1997.
