'''Tipperary South''' was a [[Dáil constituencies|parliamentary constituency]] represented in [[Dáil Éireann]], the lower house of the Irish parliament or [[Oireachtas]], from 1948 to 2016, and (per the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023]]) to again be used for future elections. The method of election was [[proportional representation]] by means of the [[single transferable vote]] (PR-STV).

At the [[1948 Irish general election|1948 general election]], the former constituency of [[Tipperary (Dáil constituency)|Tipperary]] was divided into [[Tipperary North (Dáil constituency)|Tipperary North]] and Tipperary South. Tipperary South was primarily based around the former county of [[South Tipperary]]. The principal population centres were [[Tipperary (town)|Tipperary]], Clonmel, [[Cashel, County Tipperary|Cashel]], [[Carrick-on-Suir]], and [[Cahir]].

The counties of [[North Tipperary]] and South Tipperary were abolished in 2014, and succeeded by [[County Tipperary]]. The constituency of Tipperary South was abolished at the [[2016 Irish general election|2016 general election]] and replaced by the new Tipperary constituency.

In 2023, the [[Electoral Commission (Ireland)|Electoral Commission]] recommended the establishment of a new three seat constituency of Tipperary South.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cox |first=James |date=30 August 2023 |title=Number of TDs to increase by 14 with four new constituencies |url=https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/number-of-tds-to-increase-by-14-four-new-constituencies-1520746.html |website=[[BreakingNews.ie]]}}</ref>

For the [[Next Irish general election|next general election]], the [[Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023]] defines the constituency as:<ref name="ea-2023">{{cite Irish legislation|year=2023|number=40|schedule=y|name=[[Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023]]|date=19 December 2023|access-date=16 February 2024}}</ref>
