Mayo North and West was a parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. Covering the northern and western parts of County Mayo, it existed from 1921–1923.
The constituency elected four deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
History
Mayo North and West was created in 1921 as a 4-seater, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil.
It succeeded the constituencies of North Mayo and East Mayo which were used to elect the Members of the 1st Dáil and earlier UK House of Commons members.
It was abolished under the Electoral Act 1923, when it was replaced by the new Mayo North and Mayo South constituencies. The new constituencies were first used in the 1923 general election for the Members of the 4th Dáil.
