An election to [[Donegal County Council]] took place on 24 May 2019 as part of the [[2019 Irish local elections |
An election to all 37 seats on [[Donegal County Council]] took place on 24 May 2019 as part of the [[2019 Irish local elections]]. [[County Donegal]] was divided into 7 [[local electoral area]]s (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). |

Following a recommendation of the 2018 Boundary Committee, the boundaries of the LEAs were altered from which had been used at [[2014 Donegal County Council election|the 2014 elections]].<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/local_electoral_area_boundary_committee_no.1_report_2018.pdf |isbn=978-1-4064-2990-9|author=Local Electoral Area Boundary Committee No. 1 |title=Report 2018 |date=13 June 2018 |publisher=Government Publications |accessdate=8 May 2019 |pages=36–39, 145 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114102129/https://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/local_electoral_area_boundary_committee_no.1_report_2018.pdf |archive-date=14 November 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite ISB |signedby=[[John Paul Phelan]], [[Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage|Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government]] |title=County of Donegal Local Electoral Areas Order 2018 |year=2018|type=si|num=613|accessdate=8 May 2019 |language=en |date=19 December 2018 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20210604223913/http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2018/si/613/made/en/print |archive-date=4 June 2021 }}</ref> Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a lower maximum LEA size of seven councillors, whereas Donegal in 2015 had LEAs of 10 and 9 seats. Other changes were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the [[2016 census of Ireland|2016 census]]. |

Fianna Fáil gained an additional seat to reach 12 and also saw a slight increase in their vote share. [[Anthony Molloy (Gaelic footballer)|Anthony Molloy]] – who captained the [[Donegal GAA]] team to the [[1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]] – won a seat for the party, as did rally driver [[Manus Kelly]] (both for the first time). However, Seamus O Domhnaill – Fianna Fáil's outgoing Cathaoirleach – was a notable casualty, as was former Senator [[Enda Bonner]]. |

Unlike other performances around the State, Sinn Féin actually gained a seat in Donegal; increasing their numbers by 1 to 10 seats while seeing a slight reduction in vote share. Fine Gael retained 6 seats overall, while Independents saw a reduction of 2 seats.

Results by Local Electoral Area |
An election to all 37 seats on Donegal County Council took place on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. County Donegal was divided into 7 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).
Boundary changes
[edit]Following a recommendation of the 2018 Boundary Committee, the boundaries of the LEAs were altered from which had been used at the 2014 elections.[2][3] Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a lower maximum LEA size of seven councillors, whereas Donegal in 2015 had LEAs of 10 and 9 seats. Other changes were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the 2016 census.
Overview
[edit]Fianna Fáil gained an additional seat to reach 12 and also saw a slight increase in their vote share. Anthony Molloy – who captained the Donegal GAA team to the 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship – won a seat for the party, as did rally driver Manus Kelly (both for the first time). However, Seamus O Domhnaill – Fianna Fáil's outgoing Cathaoirleach – was a notable casualty, as was former Senator Enda Bonner.
Unlike other performances around the State, Sinn Féin actually gained a seat in Donegal; increasing their numbers by 1 to 10 seats while seeing a slight reduction in vote share. Fine Gael retained 6 seats overall, while Independents saw a reduction of 2 seats. One Independent elected was John O'Donnell, who attracted controversy following an RTÉ Investigates programme into Irish councillors.
