The 2019 European Parliament election in Ireland is the Irish component of the 2019 European Parliament election and will be held on Friday, 24 May 2019, on the same day as the 2019 local elections.[1] The election will be conducted in three constituencies under the single transferable vote. Thirteen MEPs will be elected, although two will be designated as not to take their seats until Brexit has taken legal effect.

Constituency changes

{{See also|Apportionment in the European Parliament#2019 election}}

A Constituency Commission chaired by High Court judge Robert Haughton was established by the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government in July 2018 to redraw constituencies in line with this in seats.[2][3]

The Commission's report was published on 24 September 2018 and proposed the following changes:[4][5]

  • Dublin gains an extra seat from 3 to 4; with no boundary changes.
  • South gains an extra seat from 4 to 5, and gains counties Laois and Offaly from Midlands–North-West.
  • Midlands–North-West loses Laois and Offaly to South, but remains a 4 seater.

The European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Act 2019 enacted the changes recommended by the Constituency Commission. It also provided that the last candidate elected in the Dublin and South constituencies would be noted by the returning officer and that they would not take up their seats until a date has been specified by the European Parliament.[6]

The United Kingdom invoked Article 50 to withdraw from the European Union on 29 March 2017 following the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union. As Article 50 has a two-year period for withdrawal, the United Kingdom would not be part of the 2019 European Parliament election scheduled for May 2019. In July 2018, the European Council made a decision to redistribute a number of the seats from the United Kingdom to other member states. The allocation of MEPs from Ireland increased from 11 to 13. In the event that the United Kingdom is still a member of the EU at the beginning of the 2019–2024 parliamentary term, the allocation of seats will remain as it was in the previous parliament, until its withdrawal becomes legally effective.[7][8][9]
