An election to all 40 seats on Meath County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an increase from 29 seats at the 2009 election. [1] County Meath was divided into six local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). In addition, the town councils of Kells, Navan and Trim were abolished.
Fine Gael remained the largest party, and gained 2 seats when compared to 2009, despite having a lower first preference vote than Fianna Fáil. The party was somewhat insulated by the additional seats allocated to Meath. While Fianna Fáil was the largest party in terms of vote share running too many candidates and transfer leakage, in LEAs like Kells, Ratoath and Trim in particular, saw the party miss out on potential additional seats. By contrast Sinn Féin were the major winners in the elections as the party returned a team of 8 to the new Council. Independents gained 4 additional seats, including Nick Killian, a former Fianna Fáil councillor. Labour lost all of their 4 Council seats in a testament to the anti-Government sentiment. [2]
