Well I never thought I'd be writing this, but here I am. What a week it's been for Fingal. The local elections have come and gone, and the results are in. As a resident of Fingal, I thought I'd give you the rundown of what happened.
Fianna Fáil tops the polls
The big winner on the night was the Fianna Fáil party, which took the most seats on the council. Some familiar faces were elected, along with some new ones. They'll be looking to make a mark on the county over the next five years.
Sinn Féin makes gains
Sinn Féin also had a good night, gaining seats across Fingal. They're now the second-largest party on the council, and they'll be hoping to build on their success in the next election.

The big loser on the night was the Fine Gael party, which lost seats across the county. They're now the third-largest party on the council, and they'll be looking to regroup and rebuild ahead of the next election.

The Green Party made history by winning their first seat on Fingal County Council. They'll be hoping to use their platform to push for environmental issues over the next five years.
Independent candidates do well
Independent candidates also did well in the election, winning several seats across the county. They'll be hoping to use their independence to represent the views of their constituents.
What does this mean for Fingal?
It's still too early to say what the results of the election will mean for Fingal. However, it's clear that there's a lot of change on the horizon. The new council will have a lot of work to do to address the challenges facing the county, such as housing, transport, and the environment.
What's next?
The new council will meet for the first time in the coming weeks. They'll then have to elect a mayor and deputy mayor, and they'll start to work on their plans for the county. It'll be interesting to see what they can achieve over the next five years.
