The Electoral (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1998 (No. 19/1998) is a law of the Republic of Ireland which provided for parliamentary constituencies for the 29th Dáil Éireann. The 29th Dáil was elected at the 2002 general election on 17 May 2002 and was dissolved on 29 April 2007.
This Act replaced the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1995 (No. 21/1995), which defined the constituencies used for the 28th Dáil (1997–2002). It was itself replaced by the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 (No. 16/2005), which created a new pattern of constituencies when the 29th Dáil was dissolved.

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)
“The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature.”
—Paul De Man (1919–1983)
