All 29 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 5 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote.The 2018 LEA boundary review committee altered the divisions used in the 2014 elections by splitting the ten-seat Drogheda Borough District into two LEAs. Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a lower maximum LEA size of seven councillors. Other LEA seat allocations were unchanged but boundary adjustments were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the 2016 census.[1] The changes were enacted by statutory instrument (S.I.) No. 626\/2018[2] and tweaked by S.I. No. 6\/2019.[3]Following the elections Sinn F\u00e9in and Fianna F\u00e1il emerged as the joint largest party with 7 seats. Sinn F\u00e9in lost 1 seat in Dundalk and 2 in Drogheda. Fianna F\u00e1il gained a seat from Sinn F\u00e9in and also from the Green Party in Dundalk. Accounting for the defection of Kevin Callan after 2014, Fine Gael returned with 5 seats, a loss of 2 seats overall. The Labour Party increased their numbers by 1 seat to 3 by gaining another seat in Drogheda.Kevin Callan won a seat in each of the 2 Drogheda LEAs. He will now have to decide which one he wishes to represent. The casual vacancy was filled at a meeting of the full Council on 17 June 2019 by Declan Power, who had run for Fianna F\u00e1il in 2019 but who had since quit the party.Table of ContentsResults by party[edit]Results by local electoral area[edit]Ardee[edit]Drogheda Rural[edit]Drogheda Urban[edit]Dundalk\u2013Carlingford[edit]Dundalk South[edit]Results by gender[edit]Changes Since 2019[edit]Sources[edit]References[edit]Results by party[edit]Results by local electoral area[edit]Ardee[edit]Ardee \u2014 6 SeatsPartyCandidateFPv%Count123456789Fine GaelDolores Minogue[c 1]15.28%1,404\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fine GaelColm Markey[c 1]\u2020\u2020\u2020\u2020\u2020\u2020\u202015.11%1,388\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sinn F\u00e9inPearse McGeough[c 1]10.96%1,0071,0111,0181,0401,0551,1131,411\u00a0\u00a0IndependentJim Tenanty[c 1]10.40%9559789831,0481,1781,2951,396\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilJohn Sheridan9.47%8708778879029339769961,1141,131IndependentHugh D.
