2014 Kilkenny County Council election


An election to Kilkenny County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 24 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, a reduction of 2 seats from the previous election in 2009. In addition the Kilkenny Borough Council was abolished.
Fianna Fáil became the largest party after the elections securing 10 Council seats, a gain of 3. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a very poor set of results and lost 5 of their Council seats returning with 7 seats in all. Sinn Féin broke through in the county winning 3 seats, while Labour retained just 2 seats on the Council. Malcolm Noonan of the Greens was re-elected in Kilkenny city and Independents secured the final seat.
