Cork North-East was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1961 to 1981. The constituency elected 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil until 1969, and then 4 thereafter. The method of election was proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1961, for the 1961 general election to Dáil Éireann.[1] The constituency returned 5 deputies from 1961 to 1969. Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1969 this was reduced to 4 seats from 1969 onwards.[2]
It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1980, when it was partially replaced by the new constituencies of Cork East and Cork North-West.
The district electoral divisions of the former Rural District of Fermoy; former rural district of Kanturk; former rural district of Mallow; former rural district of Midleton; former rural district of Mitchelstown No. 1; former rural district of Youghal; and the urban districts of Cobh, Fermoy, Mallow, Midleton and Youghal.[1]
