Aontú and Labour will be pleased with their performances while right-wing National Party wins first seat
It was a bruising weekend for the Green Party which lost all but one of its representatives, with David Healy holding on after a recount in Malahide/Howth. Labour had a good weekend, picking up an additional seat and the party now has seven councillors in Fingal.
Independents also did well with Tania Doyle, who last month was violently attacked while erecting election posters, topping the poll in Ongar. Dean Mulligan retained a seat for Independents4Change in Swords. Cathal Boland won a seat in Rush-Lusk while Tony Murphy was elected on the first count in Balbriggan. Jimmy Guerin was returned in Malahide-Howth.
Labour was thrilled with its performance with Robert O’Donoghue securing a quota and a half and being elected on the first count in Rush-Lusk. His party colleague Corina Johnston will serve as a councillor in the same electoral area. The local election results throw up some interesting possibilities for the general election in a few months in a region which will see significant boundary changes.
