The 2014 Irish local elections were held in all local government areas of Ireland on Friday, 23 May 2014, on the same day as the European Parliament election and two by-elections (Dublin West and Longford–Westmeath).[1][2][3] The poll in the Ballybay–Clones LEA on Monaghan County Council was deferred due to the death of a candidate.[4]
