The area governed by Cork City Council
A Cork City Council election was held in Ireland on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's local elections. Thirty-one councillors were elected from a field of 65 candidates for a five-year term of office from six local electoral areas by proportional representation with a single transferable vote.[1][2][3]
Having lost several seats in the 2009 local elections within Cork City Fianna Fáil made 4 gains in these local elections. The party gained 1 seat in each of the 3 Cork South Central LEAs, the base of Micheál Martin, and 1 seat in the Cork City North Central LEA on the North Side. Sinn Féin emerged as the second largest party with 8 seats as they made 3 gains on both sides of the river Lee though effectively matched Fianna Fáil in terms of first preference vote share. Fine Gael lost 3 seats to be reduced to 5 seats while their coalition partner, the Labour Party, was obliterated losing all 7 seats. The Anti-Austerity Alliance made 2 gains to return 3 councillors to City Hall and Ted Tynan became the Workers Party's sole elected representative in the State. Independents secured the remaining 4 seats.
