North-West was a constituency of the European Parliament in Ireland between 2004 and 2014. It elected three Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

History and boundaries

The constituency was created in 2004 and was a successor to the Connacht–Ulster constituency. For 2004 election, County Clare was moved from the Munster constituency to the new North-West constituency. For the 2009 election the counties of Longford and Westmeath were transferred from the East constituency to North-West.

From 2009 it comprised the counties of Cavan, Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Longford, Mayo, Monaghan, Roscommon, Sligo and Westmeath; and the city of Galway.

For the 2014 European Parliament election the constituency was abolished. All of its area became part of the new Midlands–North-West constituency; with the exception of County Clare which was transferred to the South constituency.
