Council control

Victor

I've gone through the results to date on RTÉ http://www.rte.ie/news/elections/local/

It would seem that FG will be the largest part in most councils, with simple (50% of seats) or actual majorities in 5. Labour will be the largest party on 5 councils, FF on 2, SF 1 and both Waterford City and North Tipperary will have independents as the larest groups. Donegal is still up in the air.

It looks like FG only, FG+Labour, FG+Other and Lab+Other coalitions will have control of the vast majority of councils.

will they do good for the communities, that is the most important thing

i was trying to work out the previous council control it was much less clear.

Victor

Actually, some mistakes there. If also updated it for the counts that came in after midnight.

lostexpectation

erm shouldn't you have a fg+lab hook up, what about independents, and other parties joining ff

That seems to be looking for a log-in.

You can upload excel files as an attachment.

i opened it up in opera to see it without being logged in, i can view and edit without a log in, no problem.

prefer to keep on docs

a lot of their meetings were during week but there another lot friday night

Victor

Yeah, they all seem to be working now.

Note that SF have since lost a councillor in Dublin City and I think Wexford County.

Lostexpectation, I don't want to mess up your spreadsheet, as I am not sure how to add this correctly. Independant candidate, Catherine Murphy topped the polls for Kildare Co. Council. Here are the sources:

Just to show how much FF have lost, look at the 1999 & 2004 results.
