The present Cathaoirleach of Carlow County Council is Fine Gael’s Denis Foley.

There are 21 elected representatives from across the county who currently sit on the council: eight Fianna Fáil, seven Fine Gael, four Labour, one Independent and one Green Party. The balance of power is held by Fine Gael and Labour.

Some of the key issues for this council are attracting industry and business to the county, maintaining road surfaces and signage in the county, and thefts and robberies.

The following people have indicated that they will be standing for election in the Local Elections in June. Further information on more candidates who declare themselves for election will be added as it becomes available.
