County Longford 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). In addition, the town councils of Granard and Longford were abolished. In one of the party's better local election results, Fine Gael remained the largest party with 8 seats. Fianna Fáil took 7 seats and the remainder were filled by Independents. This was the only Council on which Sinn Féin failed to make a breakthrough.Gareth Naughton http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/elections/results/the-latest-from-longford-county-council-count-30301537.html The latest from Longford County Council count Irish Independent 24 May 2014 24 May 2014Patrick Conboy http://www.longfordleader.ie/news/local-news/local-election-update-how-it-stands-1-6081540 Local election update: How it stands Longford Leader 26 May 2014 26 May 2014August 2026 InternetArchiveBot http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Longford Irish Independent Local Elections 24 May 2014 17 June 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140604080129/http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Longford 4 June 2014 dead Results by party Party Seats ± 1st pref First preference votes FPv% First preference votes percentage ±% Fine Gael8-28,24542.10 Fianna Fáil7-16,26431.90 Sinn Féin0-1,2846.55 Independent politician (Ireland)3-3,80319.40Total18-319,596100.00— Results by local electoral area * Outgoing councillor.
