A fascinating set of elections. In 1993, SDLP and SF between them had five quotas but only four candidates; the beneficiary was Smyth of the Workers Party who thus became their only elected councillor in Northern Ireland. Casey left the SDLP not long after the election and was eventually the leader of the Labour group which was elected to the talks and Forum in 1996. In 1997 SF had more than two quotas, but only one candidate; the SDLP had three quotas but four candidates, who benefited from the SF surplus and were all elected. The 2001 election was unremarkable.
