The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 is a law of Ireland to revise Dáil constituencies and European Parliament constituencies. The revised Dáil constituencies will come into effect on the dissolution of the 33rd Dáil. The dissolution must take place by 19 February 2025; however, the Taoiseach, Simon Harris has indicated an intention to seek a dissolution of the Dáil on 8 November. The 2024 general election for the 34th Dáil will follow thereafter. The revised European Parliament constituencies were used at the 2024 European Parliament election.
