2019 Local Council Elections

The Local Elections 2019 will be held on Friday 24th of May 2019 in conjunction with the European Elections and Divorce referendum. The hours of polling are 7.00 a.m. – 10.00 p.m. Responsibility for the Local Elections for the City of Dublin rests with Dublin City Council.

A re-shuffling of the borders since 2014 means Terenure is now part of the Kimmage - Rathmines electoral area which will have a total of 6 council seats. The voting wards that cover our electoral area, and the immediate neighbouring ones, are shown in the map below. Our Association covers all Terenure D, part of Terenure C, part of the bafflingly named Rathfarnham, and a small part of Rathmines West E. The polling stations for each ward are detailed below the map.

Polling Stations

• Terenure B and Terenure C - Presentation Primary School, Terenure Road West
• Terenure D - St. Joseph's Boys National School, Terenure Road East
• Rathfarnham - Zion Parish Hall, Bushy Park Road, Rathgar
