An election to all 63 seats on Dublin City Council took place on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. Dublin was divided into 11 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 At the 2014 Dublin City Council election, there were nine LEAs each electing between six and nine councillors. Following the recommendations of the Local Area Boundary Committee Report in June 2018, there were eleven LEAs each electing between five and seven councillors.
Overview Sinn Féin lost eight seats to return with eight councillors, going from being the largest party to the fourth largest. Fianna Fáil won eleven seats, an increase of two, to become the largest party on the council for the first time since 1999. The Green Party became the second largest party on the council for the first time going from three to ten councillors, making the largest gains of any party and winning a seat in every LEA they contested there. Labour returned with eight councillors the same as they did five years previous.
