An election to Cavan County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 18 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office. In addition both Belturbet Town Council and Cavan Town Council were abolished.
Ahead of the 2014 election Cavan was redrawn into three electoral areas, a reduction in one from four, and the number of councillors was reduced to 18, from a previous total of 25.[1]
Fianna Fáil had a good set of elections and only lost one seat overall when compared to 2009. By contrast Fine Gael lost 6 seats and their overall majority. This was one of the few Councils where Sinn Féin did not make gains as the party returned with the same number they had held in 2009.[1][2]
