Limerick was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 2011 to 2016. The method of election was the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV). Another constituency of the same name existed between 1923 and 1948.
The constituency was first created as a 7-seater under the Electoral Act 1923 for the 1923 general election to Dáil Éireann; those elected comprised the 4th Dáil. It succeeded the constituencies of Limerick City–Limerick East and Kerry–Limerick West which were used to elect members to the 2nd Dáil and the 3rd Dáil.
It covered Limerick city and all of County Limerick. It was abolished under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947, when it was replaced by the two new constituencies of Limerick East and Limerick West.
The Constituency Commission proposed in 2007 that at the next general election a new constituency called Limerick be created.
