A Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Labour Alliance, backed by a number of Independents, ensured the election of the Castleknock-based Councillor, who had been sitting on Fingal County Council for a decade.

She defeated three other nominees, Sinn Féin's Paul Donnelly, Sandra Kavanagh from the Anti Austerity Alliance and Non-Party Councillor Lorna Nolan.

Mags Murray said that she had to suffer verbal abuse as well as being blocked into the council's car park late on Monday night.
