History and boundaries

The borough constituency of Dublin South existed in Dublin City from 1921 to 1948.[1] The first constituency of this name was created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 as a 4-seat constituency for the Southern Ireland House of Commons and a single-seat constituency for the United Kingdom House of Commons at Westminster, combining the former Westminster constituencies of St Patrick's and St Stephen's Green.[2] At the 1921 election for the Southern Ireland House of Commons, the four seats were won uncontested by Sinn Féin, who treated it as part of the election to the Second Dáil. It was never used as a Westminster constituency; under s. 1(4) of the Irish Free State (Agreement) Act 1922, no writ was to be issued "for a constituency in Ireland other than a constituency in Northern Ireland".[3] Therefore, no vote was held in Dublin South at the 1922 United Kingdom general election on 15 November 1922, shortly before the Irish Free State left the United Kingdom on 6 December 1922. It was restructured by the Electoral Act 1923, the first electoral act of the new state.

                                1922 general election

                                Kenneth Reddin, an election agent, published a sample ballot incorrectly stating that voters had only six preferences.[28] Markievicz secured an injunction in the Republican Supreme Court against Reddin, who published an apology on election day in The Irish Times.[28] The official notice of poll listed Markievicz's name first, but the ballot (and Reddin's sample) listed her third.[28] She later complained that the electoral register was "rotten".[28]
