History and boundaries

At the 1948 general election, the former constituency of Tipperary was divided into Tipperary North and Tipperary South. Tipperary South was primarily based around the former county of South Tipperary. The principal population centres were Tipperary, Clonmel, Cashel, Carrick-on-Suir, and Cahir.

The counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary were abolished in 2014, and succeeded by County Tipperary. The constituency of Tipperary South was abolished at the 2016 general election and replaced by the new Tipperary constituency.

In 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended the establishment of a new constituency of Tipperary South.[1]

                          Seán Treacy was Ceann Comhairle at the dissolution of the 20th Dáil and therefore deemed to be returned automatically. The constituency was treated as a two-seater for the purposes of calculating the quota.
