Turnout was the highest for 20 years at around 60%, but the result was a major setback for Fianna Fáil, which saw its share of the vote drop by 7 percentage points from its 1999 result to only 32%, losing 20% of its council seats. The party lost its majority on Clare County Council for the first time in 70 years, and fell behind Fine Gael in Galway, Limerick and Waterford city councils. Labour's share of the vote remained static at 11% while Fine Gael dropped 1%. Both parties however won seats with the Labour Party becoming the largest party on Dublin City Council. Major gains were made by Sinn Féin which managed to double the number of seats it held, mainly at the expense of Fianna Fáil.

Asylum & Direct Provision - Explained by Prime Time
Ireland's system for processing asylum applications, and providing accommodation centres for applicants, has been heavily criticised by several humanitarian organisations. Some say the direct provision system should be shut down due to human rights concerns. Others point to growing worries about immigration at the time it was set up, and the potential impact on local communities of significant numbers of immigrants. Why was direct provision put in place, and what has happened the asylum process since then? Brian O'Connell and Ciara Ní Bhroin explain.

Ancient sports for children in Ireland's most ethnically diverse town.
Ballyhaunis in the west of Ireland is at first glance a traditional farming town, a place that in the past has been deeply affected by the emigration of its young.

The local policeman Darran Conlon has a mission. He is trying to teach the younger generation of these immigrants how to play traditional Gaelic games, not only to help welcome them to the community but also to simply ensure that the local club – the lifeblood of the town – can actually field a team.
