- Source: 2019 Kilkenny County Council election
An election to all 24 seats on Kilkenny County Council was held on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. County Kilkenny was divided into 4 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 review
Following a recommendation of the 2018 Boundary Committee, the boundaries of the LEAs were altered from those used in the 2014 elections.
Overview
Fianna Fáil gained 1 additional seat to increase their numbers to 11 while also increasing their vote by 4%. Fine Gael gained 2 seats and also increased their vote by 2%. Labour and the Greens retained their previous position but it was a disastrous election for Sinn Féin. The party lost all 3 seats, including Sean Tyrell, the partner of Kathleen Funchion TD and saw a significant drop in their vote-share. Breda Gardner, a sitting Independent who also contested the Ireland South European Parliament constituency unsuccessfully, failed to retain her seat.
