==Administrative changes==
These elections took place after the coming into force of the [[Local Government Reform Act 2014]], under which city and county councils were contested under substantially redrawn [[local electoral area]] (LEA) boundaries, including an overall increase of seats to 949, up from 883 in the [[2009 Irish local elections|2009 local elections]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/LocalGovernmentAdministration/News/MainBody,33303,en.htm|title=Report of the Local Electoral Area Boundary Committee|date=30 May 2013|publisher=[[Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government]]|quote=The Minister in publishing the Report announced that he has accepted in full the recommendations in the Report and that he will be making the necessary local electoral area orders to give effect to these in due course.|access-date=20 October 2013|archive-date=24 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024173745/http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/LocalGovernmentAdministration/News/MainBody,33303,en.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> It also saw the abolition of [[List of cities, boroughs and towns in the Republic of Ireland|borough and town councils]]. Municipal districts were created within counties outside of Dublin. Generally, a municipal district contained a single LEA, though a few districts around larger urban areas contain multiple LEAs.


==Overview==
==Overview==
The elections took place a little over three years after the [[2011 Irish general election|last general election]], which led to a government of [[Fine Gael]] and the [[Labour Party (Ireland)|Labour Party]]. The elections were a major setback for Fine Gael and Labour. Fine Gael lost control of many councils, falling behind [[Fianna Fáil]] on some. Labour lost more than half of its local authority seats. Fianna Fáil showed a recovery, again becoming the largest party at local level with an increased share of the vote. The party also took control of some councils, while on others it formed alliances with Fine Gael. [[Sinn Féin]] was the main winner in this election, becoming the third-largest party at local level. There were also major gains for independents and smaller parties. As a result of its disastrous performance, the Labour leader Eamon Gilmore resigned.

The 2014 Irish local elections were held in all local government areas of Ireland on Friday, 23 May 2014, on the same day as the European Parliament election and two by-elections (Dublin West and Longford–Westmeath).[1][2][3] The poll in the Ballybay–Clones LEA on Monaghan County Council was deferred due to the death of a candidate.[4]

Administrative changes

[edit]

These elections took place after the coming into force of the Local Government Reform Act 2014, under which city and county councils were contested under substantially redrawn local electoral area (LEA) boundaries, including an overall increase of seats to 949, up from 883 in the 2009 local elections.[5] It also saw the abolition of borough and town councils. Municipal districts were created within counties outside of Dublin. Generally, a municipal district contained a single LEA, though a few districts around larger urban areas contain multiple LEAs.

Overview

[edit]

The elections took place a little over three years after the last general election, which led to a government of Fine Gael and the Labour Party. The elections were a major setback for Fine Gael and Labour. Fine Gael lost control of many councils, falling behind Fianna Fáil on some. Labour lost more than half of its local authority seats. Fianna Fáil showed a recovery, again becoming the largest party at local level with an increased share of the vote. The party also took control of some councils, while on others it formed alliances with Fine Gael. Sinn Féin was the main winner in this election, becoming the third-largest party at local level. There were also major gains for independents and smaller parties. As a result of its disastrous performance, the Labour leader Eamon Gilmore resigned.

Opinion polls

Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first. Only polls conducted in the period leading up to the election and immediately afterwards are shown.
