'''Limerick''' was a [[Dáil constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in [[Dáil Éireann]], the lower house of the Irish parliament or [[Oireachtas]] elected on the system of [[proportional representation]] by means of the [[single transferable vote]] (PR-STV). From 1923 to 1948, it represented the whole city and county of Limerick. On its second creation, from 2011 to 2016, it represented the rural part of the county of Limerick, other than in its neighbouring constituencies of [[Kerry North–West Limerick (Dáil constituency)|Kerry North–West Limerick]] and [[Limerick City (Dáil constituency)|Limerick City]].
==History and boundaries==
===1923–1948===
The constituency was first created as a 7-seat constituency under the [[Electoral Act 1923]] for the [[1923 Irish general election|1923 general election]] to [[Dáil Éireann]]; those elected comprised the [[4th Dáil]]. It succeeded the constituencies of [[Limerick City–Limerick East (Dáil constituency)|Limerick City–Limerick East]] and [[Kerry–Limerick West (Dáil constituency)|Kerry–Limerick West]] which were used to elect members to the [[2nd Dáil]] and the [[3rd Dáil]].
It covered [[Limerick]] city and all of [[County Limerick]].<ref name="ea-1923">{{cite ISB |title=[[Electoral Act 1923]] |stitle=Constituencies |year=1923|num=12|schedno=8 |parl=ifs |access-date=10 September 2010 |date=17 April 1923 |archive-date=7 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807040645/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1923/en/act/pub/0012/sched8.html#sched8 |url-status=live }}</ref> It was abolished under the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947]], when it was replaced by the two new constituencies of [[Limerick East (Dáil constituency)|Limerick East]] and [[Limerick West (Dáil constituency)|Limerick West]].
===2011–2016===
The [[Constituency Commission]] proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a new constituency called Limerick be created.<ref>{{cite web|title=Constituency Commission: Report on Dáil and European Parliament Constituencies 2007 |url=http://www.constituency-commission.ie/docs%5Ccon2007.pdf |page=5 |publisher=The Stationery Office, Dublin |access-date=28 September 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071119033516/http://www.constituency-commission.ie/docs/con2007.pdf |archivedate=19 November 2007 }}</ref>

Most of the rural parts of the Limerick East constituency were transferred to the Limerick constituency and the western parts of the Limerick West constituency were transferred to the [[Kerry North–West Limerick (Dáil constituency)|Kerry North–West Limerick]] constituency. It was represented only at the [[2011 Irish general election|2011 general election]], electing 3 TDs.
The 2009 Act defined the constituency as:<ref name="ea-2009"/>
{{quote frame|"The [[County Limerick|county of Limerick]], except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of [[Limerick City (Dáil constituency)|Limerick City]] and Kerry North–West Limerick."}}
It was abolished at the [[2016 Irish general election|2016 general election]] and replaced by the [[Limerick County (Dáil constituency)|Limerick County]] constituency.
