1994 Irish local elections

The 1994 Irish local elections for borough and town councillors and commissioners were held on Thursday, 9 June 1994. The election to the urban district council in Castlebar was postponed to Saturday, 18 June 1994 due to the death of a candidate. There was no poll for Cootehill, as there were nine candidates for the nine town commissioners.
Elections to county councils and county borough corporations had been held in 1991. The municipal elections were postponed in 1991 to allow for the enactment of legislation affecting the boundaries of many towns. This occurred under the Local Government Act 1994. This was therefore the first elections to these authorities since the 1985 local elections. Since that date, the Progressive Democrats had been established in 1985, Democratic Left had been established in 1992, and Sinn Féin had registered in 1986.
The 1994 European Parliament election, Údarás na Gaeltachta election, and Dáil by-elections in Dublin South-Central and Mayo West were held on the same day.
