European Parliament election, 2004 (Ireland)

El directorio enciclopédico desde la Wikipedia.

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