History and boundaries

edit

The constituency was first used at the 1937 general election, under the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935, when the former Galway constituency was split into Galway East and Galway West. It was abolished in 1948 and recreated in 1961. It was abolished again in 1969 and recreated in 1977.

It spans much of the eastern half of County Galway, taking in the towns of Tuam, Portumna, Athenry and Loughrea among other areas.[1]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[2]
