Record gains for Sinn Féin
Scenes of jubilation in count centres across the nation greeted Sinn Féin's
breakthrough local election performance in the 26 Counties. This tremendous
result was followed by improved European election showings, particularly
impressive being the 117,693 votes garnered by Mitchel McLaughlin in the
Six Counties.
In all, Sinn Féin trebled its representation on city and county councils
and took 62 local authority seats. Across Ireland, the party polled 205,808
votes, 9.94% of the Irish electorate. These results are the results of a
party that is dynamic, youthful, focused, and in touch. This is only
chapter one.
