For the 1885–1922 constituency, see North Galway (UK Parliament constituency).

Template:Dáil Éireann former constituency infobox Galway North was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1948 to 1961. The constituency elected 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

History

Boundaries

The administrative county of Galway except the portion thereof which was comprised in the County Constituencies of Galway West and Galway South.
