An election to Kildare County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 40 councillors were elected from five electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, an increase in 15 seats compared to 2009.[1] In addition Athy Town Council, Leixlip Town Council, Naas Town Council and Newbridge Town Council were all abolished.
In recognition of its major population growth in recent times Kildare was allocated 15 additional council seats. This helped to insulate both Government parties somewhat from anti-Government hostility that lead to seat losses in other counties. Fine Gael returned 9 seats, as they did in 2009 and Labour returned with 5 councillors, a loss of 1 seat in the Kildare-Newbridge LEA. Fianna Fáil emerged as the big winners doubling their seats to 12 and becoming the largest party. The party won 3 seats in each of Kildare-Newbridge, Maynooth and in Naas. Sinn Féin won a seat in each LEA to return a delegation of 5 councillors back to County Hall. Independents also gained 5 seats to have a total membership of 9.[2]
