The Electoral (Amendment) Act 1995 (No. 21/1995) is a law of the Republic of Ireland which provided for parliamentary constituencies in the 28th Dáil Éireann. The 28th Dáil was elected at the 1997 general election on 6 June 1997 and dissolved on 25 April 2002.
This Act replaced the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1990 (No. 36/1990), which defined the constituencies used for the 27th Dáil (1992–1997). It was itself replaced by the Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998 (No. 19/1998), which created a new pattern of constituencies for the 29th Dáil (elected in 2002).

Famous quotes containing the words electoral and/or act:
“Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
and we still have to stare into the absence
of men who would not, women who could not, speak
to our life—this still unexcavated hole
called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
