Tipperary is a parliamentary constituency that has been represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, since the 2016 general election. The constituency elects 5 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs). The method of election is the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV). Another constituency of the same name existed between 1923 and 1948.
The constituency was created under the Electoral Act 1923, and was first used at the 1923 general election, replacing the previous Tipperary Mid, North and South constituency and the Tipperary part of the Waterford–Tipperary East constituency.
It consisted of the administrative counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary. The constituency elected 7 deputies.
Under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1947 Tipperary was abolished and divided into two new constituencies: Tipperary South and Tipperary North. These constituencies were first used for the 1948 general election
