Boundary review

Following a recommendation of the 2018 Boundary Committee, the boundaries of the LEAs in County Clare were altered from those used in the 2014 election.[1][2] Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a maximum LEA size of seven councillors, whereas in 2014, the West Clare LEA had eight. Other changes were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the 2016 census.
