European Parliament election, 2004 (Ireland)

The European Parliament Election, 2004 was the Republic of Ireland component of the European Parliament Election, 2004. The voting was held on Friday, June 11, 2004. The elections coincided with the 2004 local elections. Since the 1999 European Parliament election the Republic's entitlement had fallen from 15 seats to 13 seats due to EU expansion. The constituencies had therefore been renamed, and Clare ceded from the new constituency of South to the new constituency of North-West. The elections were conducted under the Single Transferable Vote. For the Northern Ireland elections, see European Parliament Election, 2004 (UK)
