Excerpt: LongfordWestmeath is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dil ireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas since the 2007 general election. The constituency returns 4 Teachta Dla (TDs), elected by the single transferable vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV). The constituency previously existed from 1921 to 1937 and from 1948 to 1992, but was abolished for the 1992 general election. It was re-created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 which gave effect to the 2004 Constituency Commission Report on Dil Constituencies, and was first used in its current form in the 2007 general election. It succeeded the County Longford part of the LongfordRoscommon constituency and most of the Westmeath constituency apart from the north-eastern area around Castlepollard and Delvin which became part of the new Meath West constituency.
