Ireland was divided into local government areas of administrative counties and county boroughs. There was a second tier of boroughs, urban districts and towns with boards of commissioners. The elections were postponed from June 1990.[1] This allowed the Local Government Act 1991 to be passed beforehand. Elections in non-county boroughs and towns were postponed until 1994.[2]
They were the first local elections contested by the Progressive Democrats, which had been founded in December 1985, and the first since Sinn Féin registered as a political party in December 1986.
