Erne West is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Fermanagh and Omagh, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and contains the wards of Belcoo and Garrison, Boho, Cleenish and Letterbreen, Derrygonnelly, Derrylin and Florence Court and Kinawley.[2] Erne West 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 and Fermanagh Area C which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained five wards (Belcoo and Garrison, Boho, Cleenish and Letterbreen, Derrygonnelly, Derrylin and Florence Court and Kinawley).
