Changing times as constituencies face revamp

MORE than half of the country’s 43 constituencies will undergo extensive changes in electoral registers and county boundaries under the raft of recommendations by the Constituency Commission.

Aside from the constituencies which will see their seats either decrease or increase, 20 constituencies will be revised in geographical make-up.

Despite years of protest by members of the public in Leitrim, the county is to remain split between Sligo-North Leitrim and Roscommon-South Leitrim.
