An election to all 40 seats Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council was held on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an increase from 28 at the previous election. Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown was divided into six local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors from a field of 85 candidates for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).[1] [2]
Fine Gael retained their position as the leading party on the authority with 11 seats, including 2 seats in each of Blackrock, Dundrum and Stillorgan and 3 seats in Dún Laoghaire. Fianna Fáil doubled their seats to 8 and won 2 seats in each of Blackrock and Stillorgan. Labour lost 1 seat overall to emerge with 7 seats. The party won 2 seats in each of Glencullen–Sandyford and Killiney–Shankill to compensate from losing a seat in Dún Laoghaire.
