40 councillors were elected earlier this month but four-fifths are familiar faces as they were already sitting members.
A new Cathaoirleach will be elected at the meeting today.

One of the eight new faces is Independent John O’Heney who topped the poll in the Cashel-Tipperary area.
It was one of only two LEAs – along with Nenagh – that had more than one new candidate elected.
Cllr O’Heney says he felt locals did want to see new people in the role and that’s why he got such a big first preference vote.
