Leinster was a European Parliament constituency in Ireland between 1979 and 2004. It elected three Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) in the 1979, 1984 and 1989 elections and four MEPs in the elections of 1994 and 1999 using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).
