An election to all 18 seats on Galway City Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an increase of 3 seats from 2009 election. The city of Galway was divided into three local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV)
Twenty-four-year-old Mairéad Farrell, a niece of Mairéad Farrell who was shot dead by the SAS in Gibraltar in 1988, won a seat at the first attempt.Brian McDonald http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/elections/results/galway-city-council-city-east-first-count-30301528.html Galway City Council City East: First count Irish Independent 24 May 2014 24 May 2014 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.http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Galway%20City Galway City local elections Irish Independent 24 May 2014 dead 18 June 2014 28 May 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140528232646/http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Galway%20City
