History and boundaries

From its creation in 1977 to 2016, the constituency spanned the entire area of both County Cavan and County Monaghan, taking in Cavan town, Monaghan town, Clones, Cootehill, Belturbet, Bailieborough, Castleblayney and Carrickmacross,[1] and was a 5-seat constituency.

It was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974, as part of the redistribution of constituencies also known as the Tullymander.[2] The constituency of Cavan–Monaghan has been used for elections since the 1977 general election. It replaced the two separate constituencies of Cavan and Monaghan that previously covered the area.

At the 2016 general election, 36 electoral divisions in the west of County Cavan were transferred to the Sligo–Leitrim constituency and Cavan–Monaghan became a 4-seat constituency.[3]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2013 defines the constituency as:

"The county of Monaghan and the county of Cavan, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Sligo–Leitrim."

Since 2020

In 2017 the Constituency Commission amended this due to population boundaries. It stated that at the next Irish general election, the west of County Cavan would be reunited with the rest of the Cavan–Monaghan constituency, and that it would gain an extra seat to become a 5-seat constituency.[4]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[4]

"The county of Cavan and the county of Monaghan;

and, in the county of Meath, the electoral divisions of:

Drumcondra, in the former Rural District of Ardee No. 2;

Ardagh, Carrickleck, Kilmainham, Moybolgue, Posseckstown and Trohanny in the former Rural District of Kells."

Constituency profile

Cavan–Monaghan is predominately rural with 75% of the population living outside the main towns. Manufacturing, construction and agriculture are the largest sectors of the local economy.[5] In the 2000s there was an influx of people moving to south-east Cavan from Dublin, benefiting from the low house prices and good transport links to the capital.

Due to its proximity to the border the constituency has historically been strongly Republican; hunger striker Kieran Doherty won a seat in the 1981 general election as an Anti H-Block candidate. In recent elections the constituency has seen mainly a three-way fight between Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil, with the Labour Party traditionally polling poorly.
