The constituency has an electorate of x and returns 4 Teachtaí Dála (TDs). The method of election is the Single Transferable Vote.
The constituency previously existed for many decades, but was dismantled in advance of the 1992 election. It was re-created by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 which gave effect to the 2004 Constituency Commission Report on Dáil Constituencies, and was first used in the 2007 election. It succeeded the County Longford part of the Longford-Roscommon 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.
