Enniskillen (District Electoral Area)

Enniskillen is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Fermanagh and Omagh, Northern Ireland. The district elects six members to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and contains the wards of Castlecoole, Erne, Lisbellaw, Lisnarrick, Portora and Rossory. Enniskillen forms part of the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Fermanagh Area A, Fermanagh Area B and Fermanagh Area E which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained seven wards (Castlecoole, Devenish, Erne, Island, Lisbellaw, Rossorry and Tempo). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to six wards, losing Tempo to the Erne North DEA.
