An election to all 40 seats on Tipperary County Council election was held on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections , contested by a field of 85 candidates. This was a reduction from a combined total of 47 seats at the previous election: 21 at the 2009 North Tipperary election and 27 at the 2009 South Tipperary election . The former counties of North Tipperary and South Tipperary were amalgamated under the Local Government Reform Act 2014 . The town councils of Carrick-on-Suir , Cashel , Nenagh , Templemore , Tipperary and Thurles and the borough council of Clonmel were also abolished.
County Tipperary was divided into five local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
