Overview


The election results were significant for a number of reasons:



  • Fine Gael gained 88 seats and became the largest party at local level for the first time ever.


  • Fianna Fáil lost 135 seats and became the second-largest party nationally, and the third-largest in Dublin.

  • The Labour Party increased its seat total by 43 seats, and became the largest party on Dublin City Council. It also held the most seats on the four Dublin local authorities.


  • Sinn Féin support remained at almost the same level, gaining 2 seats.

  • The Green Party lost 14 seats and had 3 county councillors.

  • The People Before Profit Alliance won 5 seats in its first local elections.

  • The Socialist Party won 6 seats, a gain of 2 seats.


Results


The total number of the Irish electorate eligible to vote in the election was 3,259,253. A total of 1,880,589 first preference votes were cast, representing a turnout of 57.7%.


The Progressive Democrats and Independent Fianna Fáil did not compete in the elections. As they competed in the previous elections, totals for vote and seat changes may not total zero. People Before Profit Alliance figures are compared to Socialist Workers Party figures from the previous local elections.
