In Cork Mid, North, South, South East and West, Sinn Féin's eight candidates (all outgoing TDs from the 2nd Dáil) were joined by two from the [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Labour Party]] and two from the [[Farmers' Party (Ireland)|Farmers' Party]]. Pro-Treaty Sinn Féin candidates won a combined total of 45.75% of the first-preference votes, with their anti-Treaty counterparts winning a combined 23.03%. Both Labour Party candidates were elected, along with one Farmers' Party candidate, unseating two anti-Treaty Sinn Féin TDs and one pro-Treaty TD. |

The [[Irish general election, 1922|1922 general election]] took place in [[Southern Ireland]] on 16 June 1922, under the provisions of the 1921 [[Anglo-Irish Treaty]] to elect a constituent assembly paving the way for the formal establishment of the [[Irish Free State]]. For [[Irish Republican]]s this chose the membership of the [[Third Dáil]] of the [[Irish Republic]]; under the provisions of the treaty it was a provisional parliament replacing the [[Parliament of Southern Ireland]]. From 6 December 1922 it was the [[Dáil Éireann (Irish Free State)|Dáil Éireann]] of the Irish Free State. |

As at the [[Irish elections, 1921|1921 elections]], Sinn Féin stood one candidate for every seat, except those for two Dublin constituencies; the treaty had divided the party between 65 pro-treaty candidates, 57 anti-treaty and 1 nominally on both sides. Unlike the elections a year earlier, other parties stood in most constituencies forcing [[single transferable vote]] elections, with Sinn Féin losing 30 seats. |

Cork Mid, North, South, South East and West was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas from 1921 to 1923. The constituency elected 8 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) to the Dáil, on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
History and boundaries[edit]
The constituency was created in 1921 as an 8-seat constituency, under the Government of Ireland Act 1920, for the 1921 general election to the House of Commons of Southern Ireland, whose members formed the 2nd Dáil. It succeeded the constituencies of Cork Mid, Cork North, Cork South, Cork South East and Cork West which were used to elect the Members of the 1st Dáil and earlier UK House of Commons members.
The constituency covered most of County Cork except for Cork city and the northern eastern and eastern parts of the county.
It was abolished under the Electoral Act 1923, when it was replaced by the new Cork North and Cork West constituencies,[1] which were first used in the 1923 general election for the 4th Dáil.

The constituency's most notable TD was Michael Collins, who was Minister for Finance in the First Dáil of 1919, Director of Intelligence for the IRA, and member of the Irish delegation during the Anglo-Irish Treaty negotiations. He was killed during the Civil War in an ambush on 22 August 1922 near the village of Béal na Bláth.
