Analysis of election

Monaghan proved to be a success story for Sinn Féin as the party re-captured a seat in Carrickmacross-Castleblayney from Fianna Fáil which they had lost at the last local election in 2019 and Sinn Féin also took a second seat in Ballybay-Clones with the retirement of the outgoing Independent, Hughie McElvaney to emerge as the largest party with 8 seats. Independent and former TD, Paudge Connolly, also lost his seat in the Monaghan LEA to Fine Gael who increased their numbers to 7. Fianna Fáil declined further to just 3 seats in number.
