The electoral county had been established in 1985 as Dublin–Fingal and was renamed Fingal for these local elections.^[4]

From 1 January 1994, on the coming into effect of the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1993, County Dublin was disestablished as an administrative county, and in its place the electoral counties became three new counties. The councillors listed below became the councillors for Fingal County Council from that date.^[5]
