The party won 2 seats in Pembroke-Southdock and Rathgar-Rathmines but found itself without representation in Ballyfermot-Drimnagh, Cabra-Finglas and Crumlin-Kimmage. The Labour Party had a terrible election losing 11 seats in all, including their outgoing Lord Mayor, Oisin Quinn, to return with just 8 councillors in all. People Before Profit gained 3 seats to return with 5 seats in all and the Green Party made a return to the council with 3 seats. The United Left Alliance and the Anti-Austerity Alliance both returned 1 seat while Independents doubled their numbers to 12 seats.
