Merge with Leitrim–Sligo

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was Merge. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We reasonably combine constituencies into the same page when compass points differ from the current standard, e.g. the 1935 Act has North-West Dublin or South Mayo, which we have at Dublin North-West (Dáil constituency) and Mayo South (Dáil constituency). The same principle should apply here to an ordering of county names. As detailed in the boundaries table, in both 1923–1937 as Leitrim–Sligo and on its recreation as Sligo–Leitrim in 1948, it was both counties in full. Having separate pages unnecessarily complicates things for the reader interested in previous TDs and elections for either county. For clarity, I would note the different order in both the intro, and the table headers for the elections from 1923 to 1933. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 20:30, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the proposed merge. Spleodrach (talk) 19:39, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
