Kerry North (Dáil constituency)

Kerry North was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1937 to 2011. The method of election was the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

History and boundaries 
The constituency was located in the northern half of County Kerry, located between the River Shannon estuary and the Slieve Mish Mountains; and included Tralee, Listowel, Tarbert, Ballybunion and Castleisland. It was established by the Electoral (Revision of Constituencies) Act 1935 when the former Kerry constituency was divided into Kerry North and Kerry South. It was first used at the 1937 general election electing members of the 9th Dáil.

The constituency elected 4 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) from 1937 to 1961 and 3 deputies from 1961 to 2011.

At the 2011 general election it was replaced by a new constituency called Kerry North–West Limerick.
