Members of the 11th Dáil


This is a list of members who were elected to the 11th Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Oireachtas of Ireland. These TDs were elected at the 1943 general election on 23 June 1943 and met on 1 July 1943.
There were no by-elections during this time. The Dáil adjourned sine die on 10 May 1944, the day after President Douglas Hyde called a general election for 30 May at the request of the Taoiseach Éamon de Valera. Technically, and exceptionally, the outgoing Dáil was not dissolved until after the election. Although the Constitution requires the President to dissolve the Dáil before a general election, this procedure was overridden by the General Elections Act 1943. The act, which would have been unconstitutional if not for the state of emergency in effect during the Second World War, was intended to increase national security by minimising the interval during which no Dáil is in existence.
