Council control after election
TBD
An election to Monaghan County Council took place on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections . All 18 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote . The 2018 LEA boundary review committee kept the LEAs used in the 2014 elections , adjusting the boundaries and moving one seat from Ballybay–Clones LEA to Monaghan LEA.
Bucking a trend elsewhere Sinn Féin slightly increased their vote in Monaghan. However this did not prevent the party from losing a seat in the Carrickmacross-Castleblayney LEA but Sinn Féin would still remain the largest party. The Sinn Féin loss was to former Carrickmacross TC Cllr, Mary Kerr-Conlon. However the Fine Gael vote in Monaghan fell by over 5% a consequence of Hugh McElvaney retaining his seat in Ballybay-Clones as an Independent.
