Tipperary North is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV). ==History and boundaries== It was created for the 1948 general election when the former Tipperary constituency was divided into Tipperary North and Tipperary South. The constituency has undergone a significant revision to its boundaries since the 2007 general election. A population of 4,276 in the former Roscrea No 2 Rural District was transferred into constituency from the Laois-Offaly constituency. As well as the administrative county of North Tipperary and some parts of South Tipperary, it now also includes the southern tip of County Offaly. The 2006 population of the constituency using these revised boundaries would be 80,203. The principle population centres are Thurles, Templemore, Nenagh and Roscrea. The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2009 defines the constituency as:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2009/en/act/pub/0004/sched.html )〕 :"The county of North Tipperary; :and, in the county of South Tipperary, the electoral divisions of: :Ballysheehan, Clogher, Clonoulty East, Clonoulty West, Gaile, Graystown, Killenaule, Nodstown, in the former ''Rural District of Cashel''; :Ballyphilip, Buolick, Crohane, Farranrory, Fennor, Kilcooly, New Birmingham, Poyntstown, in the former ''Rural District of Slievardagh''; :Cappagh, Curraheen, Donohill, Glengar, in the former ''Rural District of Tipperary No. 1''; :and, in the county of Offaly, the electoral divisions of: :Aghacon, Barna, Cangort, Cullenwaine, Dunkerrin, Ettagh, Gorteen, Mountheaton, Shinrone, Templeharry, in the former ''Rural District of Roscrea No. 2''." Tipperary North is a rare example of a bellwether constituency in Ireland; since 1982, it has returned two government supporting deputies out of three. Since the formation of the constituency, it always returned at least one TD for Fianna Fáil from 1948 until the 2011 general election. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tipperary North (Dáil Éireann constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
