An election to Galway City 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, an increase of 3 seats when compared to 2009.
24 year-old Mairead Farrell, a niece of Mairéad Farrell who was shot dead by the SAS in Gibraltar in 1988, won a seat at the first attempt.[1] She was joined on the Council by 2 other councillors as Sinn Féin won 3 seats. Their gains came chiefly at the expense of Labour who lost 3 fifths of their seats to return with just 2 councillors. While Fianna Fáil won the most votes the party did not make any gains in the election and returned just 3 councillors as in 2009. By contrast Fine Gael gained a seat to become the largest party. Independents were the big winners, topping the poll in all LEAs and increasing their existing numbers by 2 seats.[2]
