County Kildare was divided into five 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).http://www.irishtimes.com/news/elections/local-elections/kildare Local elections: Kildare The Irish Times live https://archive.today/20140529154913/http://www.irishtimes.com/news/elections/local-elections/kildare 29 May 2014 28 May 2014 In addition, the town councils of Athy, Leixlip, Naas and Newbridge 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, returning to County Hall for the first time since 1999.http://electionsireland.org/result.cfm?election=1999L&cons=12 Local Elections: 10 June 1999: Athy ElectionsIreland.org live https://web.archive.org/web/20210603143415/https://electionsireland.org/result.cfm?election=1999L&cons=12 3 June 2021 Independents also gained 5 seats to have a total membership of 9.http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Kildare https://archive.today/20140616215813/http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Kildare dead 2014-06-16 Kildare Local Elections Irish Independent Results by party Party Seats ± 1st pref First preference votes FPv% First preference votes percentage ±% Fianna Fáil12+616,53026.4 Fine Gael9-13,11120.9 Labour Party (Ireland)5-18,35913.4 Sinn Féin5+57,49411.9 Independent politician (Ireland)9+514,20722.7Total40+1561,837100.0— Results by local electoral area * Outgoing councillor.
