A kind soul has sent me a number of Local Election Results that are currently unavailable online. At the minute the fabulous electionsireland.org has most of the 1991 LE with all of the 1999, 2004 and 2009 results.
I’m going to start with the Local Election Results from Dublin City Council and Dublin County Council for the 1967 , 1974, 1979,1985, 1991, 1999, 2004 and 2009 Local Elections with many count details.
Its in excel format , if there is an interest I’ll add some more.
I’ve leaflets for many of these Local Election candidates posted. Alas I’ve it done by year as opposed to year / area.
The Actual Results……

Dublin County Council Local Election Results 1967 , 1974, 1979,1985, 1991, 1999, 2004, 2009
Many Many Thanks to the sender.
That’s fantastic – thanks for making it available. Who says nostalgia is the preserve of popular culture? William “Abbey of the Holy Cross” Fitsimons, anyone?
Excellent. I have tried to digitise these for Wikipedia from the Irish Times archive, but their coverage becomes sloppy around 1985 (going back in time), and in the 1970s they are quite unreliable.
Thanks.
Do you know if the Irish Independent or Irish Press carried pre 1974 results?
There’s an error in the Tallaght 1974 result. Matt Edmond should be 1,166 and Eamonn Redmond 449. That moves the Labour % ahead of FG and tallies with their 2 seats ahead of FG’s 1. Their were 19 counts over 3 days and 3, Mervyn Taylor, Joe Connolly and Damien Murray were elected without reaching the quota.
