Longford–Westmeath is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects five deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). It contains all of County Longford and County Westmeath.

History and boundaries

The constituency 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 Dáil Constituencies, and has been in use since the 2007 general election.

From 2007 until 2024, it was a four-seat constituency, with part of County Westmeath around Castlepollard and Delvin in the Meath West constituency. It was then defined as:

The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:

"The county of Longford and the county of Westmeath."

In the Constituency Review Report 2023, the Electoral Commission recommended that the electoral divisions of Westmeath in the Meath West constituency should be transferred to Longford–Westmeath, thereby making the constituency comprise the entire counties of Longford and Westmeath for the first time since 1981. It was also allocated an additional seat to become a five-seat constituency.
