Boundaries
In 1918 the parliamentary representation of the administrative county of Dublin was increased from two divisions to four. The 1885–1918 version of South Dublin was extended to the west a little and split into three constituencies (from north to south the divisions of Rathmines, Pembroke and South).
This constituency was in the south-eastern part of County Dublin.
It was a section along the coast, south of the city of Dublin, extending west into the middle of the county. The constituency was bounded by the city of Dublin to the north, North Dublin to the west, the Pembroke division of County Dublin to the south and the sea to the east.
The Rathmines division was defined by the Redistribution of Seats (Ireland) Act 1918. It consisted of a number of local government areas as they existed in 1918. These were the urban district of Rathmines and Rathgar, and the part of the rural district of South Dublin which consisted of the district electoral division of Terenure.
