#Elections2019: Sinn Féin set to lose seats on most councils nationwide

The Sinn Féin vote has collapsed in parts of the country in the local elections with councillors set to lose seats nationwide.

Sinn Féin will not be changing the direction of the party after poor performances in the local elections, Mary Lou McDonald has said.

The Sinn Fein president has admitted that her party's failure to get their support base out to vote was a major factor in their poor performance in the local elections.
