All 40 seats across the seven Local Electoral Areas in South Dublin have been filled, with independent candidates taking ten seats and more than a quarter of the vote.

All 40 seats across the seven Local Electoral Areas in South Dublin have now been filled. As has been the case across the county, independent candidates came out on top, taking ten seats and more than a quarter of the vote.

Former MMA fighter and Independent Councillor Patrick Holohan enjoyed huge success, topping the vote in Tallaght South and claiming a second seat in Tallaght Central. This creates an interesting situation for South Dublin Council, as Mr Holohan will now have the option to co-opt someone to occupy the seat he chooses not to take. However, they will have to be ratified by their fellow councillors.
