Dublin Artane was a short-lived parliamentary constituency in Ireland, which was represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. It covered the north eastern parts of the city of Dublin, including the Artane area together with parts of Clontarf, Drumcondra and Santry. It existed from 1977 to 1981. It elected three deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known in English as TDs) to the Dáil, using the Single Transferable Vote method of proportional representation (PR-STV).
The constituency was created under the terms of the Electoral (Amendment) Act 1974 http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1974/en/act/pub/0007/index.html , largely replacing the former Dublin North East constituency, as part of the redistribution of constituencies (also known as the Tullymander) which attempted to secure the re-election of the outgoing Fine Gael/Labour government. It was first used for the 1977 election. The constituency was abolished in 1981 with much of it going into an expanded Dublin North Central constituency. Of the 15 wards in Dublin Artane, 11 went to Dublin North Central for the 1981 election, with two going to Dublin North East and two to Dublin North West.
It consisted of the following wards of the county borough of Dublin http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1974/en/act/pub/0007/gen_1.html:Artane A, Artane B, Artane C, Artane D, Artane E, Artane F, Artane G, Artane H, Clontarf East E, Clontarf West A, Clontarf West B, Drumcondra North A, Drumcondra North B, Drumcondra North C, Santry B.
