As a result of the draw, there may be 21 new TDs.
Politicians are anxiously awaiting the review of electoral constituencies which will be announced this week.
The Dáil may have as many as 21 new TDs as a result of the redraw, which is one of the most significant in history.
Almost all constituencies are in breach of the constitution as they have more than 30 thousand citizens for every TD above the legal limit.
Geography lecturer at Maynooth University, Colt's Adrian Kavanagh says lots of constituencies are going to change:
A former TD says waiting for the boundary commission review was like waiting for the Leaving Cert results.
The last review saw Fine Gael's Noel Rock lose around 1,400 votes from the constituency - he then lost his seat by around 400 votes at the 2020 election.
Rock says it's going to be an anxious week for sitting TDs:
