Some Dáil Éireann constituencies extend cross the county boundaries, in order to ensure a reasonably consistent ratio of electors to TDs. The mathematics make this less likely to be necessary in a large constituency such as this one, and the 1923 Act defined the boundaries of the Galway constituency simply as: "The administrative county of Galway. ". [1]
No boundary revisions took place until the abolition of the constituency under the 1935 Act.
