Prior to the 1918 United Kingdom general election the area was the central part of the South Dublin constituency, extended a bit west into territory formerly part of North Dublin. From 1922 it was not represented in the United Kingdom Parliament.

Boundaries

In 1918 the parliamentary representation of the administrative county of Dublin was increased from two divisions to four. The 1885-1918 version of South Dublin was extended to the west a little and split into three constituencies (from north to south the divisions of Rathmines, Pembroke and South).

This constituency was in the south-eastern part of County Dublin.

It was a section along the coast, south of the city of Dublin, extending west into the middle of the county. The constituency was bounded by the Rathmines division of County Dublin to the north, North Dublin to the west, East Wicklow and South Dublin to the south and the sea to the east.

The Pembroke division was defined by the Redistribution of Seats (Ireland) Act 1918. It consisted of a number of local government areas as they existed in 1918. They were the urban district of Pembroke, the part of the rural district of Rathdown No. 1 which consisted of the district electoral divisions of Dundrum and Milltown, and the part of the rural district of South Dublin which was not included in the North Dublin and Rathmines Divisions.

The North Dublin constituency included the part of the rural district of South Dublin which consisted of the district electoral divisions of Clondalkin, Palmerston, and Tallaght. The district electoral division of Terenure was in the Rathmines seat.

gollark: And my idea for how the buying/selling would work is that you'd create a "sell order" if you wanted to sell it, and set a price, and your share would be sold as soon as anyone created a "buy order" with that price or a higher one.
gollark: The auctioning could be done with a Vickrey auction, which apparently "gives bidders an incentive to bid their true value", which seems like a good property.
gollark: My suggested way for it to work has always been having meme shares pay dividends (based on upvotes, maybe every hour or after a fixed time or something), giving the creator some of the shares, and selling the others to "the market" (maybe via some sort of short auction mechanism?), then just letting everyone trade them freely until they pay out.
gollark: Investing is a losing proposition, or at least a breaking-even-usually one, sooo...
gollark: Yep!
