This term was later extended to 1925. Four candidates, including Dench (previously a nationalist councillor), and Forsyth (a Protestant Home Ruler, and the incumbent council chairman) ran on a Ratepayers Association ticket, which was silent on the national question. Along with keeping rates down, the grouping was committed to improved housing accommodation for the working classes, extending facilities to plotholders, better street lighting, the erection of a Free Carnegie Library, improved technical education, and providing wash houses where necessary.https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0002093/19200108/038/0002 subscription British Newspaper Archive Results by party Party Seats ± Candidates 1st pref First preference votes FPv% First preference votes percentage ±% Irish Unionist Alliance67 Sinn Féin611 Ratepayers Association34 Labour Party (Ireland)04 Independent politician01Total15277,487100% Source: Irish Independent Turnout: 70.84% Results by local electoral area * Outgoing councillor.
