The constituency was created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and first used at the 1921 elections electing 4 deputies. It spans the entire area of County Wexford, taking in Wexford, Enniscorthy, New Ross and Gorey.
The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:[1]
"The county of Wexford."
The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Wexford lose a seat to become a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory in the north of County Wexford to the new constituency of Wicklow–Wexford.[2]
For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[3]
"The county of Wexford except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Wicklow-Wexford."
