([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_North-West?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s a breakdown to explain how we know:\n\n---\n\n## How the Constituency is Defined\n\n1. According to the **Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023**, Dublin North-West includes electoral divisions labeled Whitehall A, B, C, and D (as well as others in Ballygall, Finglas, Beaumont, etc.). ([kiwix.drnathanhutchins.com](https://kiwix.drnathanhutchins.com/content/wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2026-02/Dublin_North-West?utm_source=openai)) \n \n2. The polling / electoral listings for Dublin North-West also explicitly include the parts of Whitehall within **Dublin 9** in the constituency. ([dublincityreturningofficer.com](https://www.dublincityreturningofficer.com/files/2025-10/polling_scheme_dublin_north_west.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Is It \u201cDublin North-West\u201d or Some Other Constituency?\n\n- Prior to 2024, there were census-based changes shifting some areas (like parts of Santry and Finglas) out of Dublin North-West to new or adjusted constituencies. But Whitehall remained inside the boundaries of **Dublin North-West** after the 2023 review. ([irishtimes.com](https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/oireachtas/2023/08/30/electoral-boundaries-review-how-did-your-constituency-fare/?utm_source=openai)) \n- There is no current boundary drawing that places Whitehall in **Dublin North Central** or **Dublin Bay North** (which often get discussed in boundary reviews). ([electoralcommission.ie](https://www.electoralcommission.ie/app/uploads/2023/05/S387-Ray-McLoughlin-redacted.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can double-check using your full address or Eircode to get the exact electoral division \u2014 that way it\u2019s 100% certain."
