An election to all 40 seats on Kildare County Council was held on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. County Kildare was divided into 8 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. Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a lower maximum LEA size of seven councillors, exceeded by three of the five 2014 LEAs. Other changes were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the 2016 census.

Overview

Fianna Fáil remained the largest party with 12 seats although they saw a slight reduction in vote share. Fine Gael increased their vote share by over 2% and also gained an extra 2 seats to have a total of 11. Labour retained their 5 seats on the council. The Social Democrats benefitted from the presence of Catherine Murphy in the County and saw 4 gains with the party winning seats in Clane, Leixlip, Naas and Newbridge. The Green Party returned to the council with 3 seats; its 3 gains coming from Celbridge, Maynooth and Naas.

Sinn Féin lost 4 seats overall as its vote share fell by 67% and the party only came home with 1 seat. Partly due to retirements Independents saw a net loss of 5 seats.
