An election to all 19 seats on Offaly County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, a decrease from 21 seats at the 2009 election. County Offaly was divided into three 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). In addition, the town councils of Birr, Edenderry and Tullamore were all abolished.
Fianna Fáil remained the largest party after the elections winning 8 seats. Sinn Féin won 3 seats and in terms of vote share also became the second largest party. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a poor set of results and lost half of their seats.
