An election to all 40 seats on Fingal County Council was held on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an increase from 24 seats at the previous election. Fingal was divided into five local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors from a field of 97 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] [3] [4]
Fianna Fáil emerged as the largest party after the elections with 7 seats with 3 net gains and securing 2 seats in each of Castleknock and Swords. Fine Gael retained 6 seats though found themselves without representation in Swords while securing 2 in each of Castleknock and Howth-Malahide. Sinn Féin also secured 6 seats, including 2 seats in Mulhuddart. Labour had a very bad election winning just 4 seats and losing 5 seats as a whole as well as being wiped out in Castleknock. The Anti-Austerity Alliance also made 4 gains, including 2 seats in Mulhuddart, chiefly coming from their former base in the Socialist Party. The Green Party returned to the Council Chamber with 2 seats in each of Castleknock and Howth-Malahide. People Before Profit also secured a seat in the Balbriggan LEA. Independents were however the chief winners in Fingal gaining 8 additional seats to emerge after the elections with a total of 10 seats.
