Talk:List of mayors of Cork

2005 post
It's tricky to define what makes someone notable. I've added a couple of names where a wikipedia article exists. Irlchrism 11:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

"The Right Worshipful"
I have removed this title as I can find no authoritive references and indeed the Local Government Act, Section 32 would appear to be at conflict in any case. We need to cite if we use abstract terms. Djegan 13:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I can't find any evidence at the moment, but I would appreciate it if you left the title of "Right Worshipful" in. It is a well known fact that the Lord Mayor of Cork is granted this title while in office, but must relinquish it when the office term is over. If you can't find any proof yourself, I would suggest reading a history book. I believe that all titles of Lord Mayor that are not granted the title of "Rt. Honourable" (as in Dublin) are granted the title automatically of "Rt. Worshipful" (as in Cork).


 * What I will do is contact the council to determine its status. It appears entirely believeable that the term was used in past years but the local government act of 2001 appears to have removed all honourifics from titles of Lord Mayors, you can see the above link to the relevent section of the act.

2008 Mayor
The article does not state who is the current mayor, as Donal Counihan left office in June 2008.--86.41.95.158 (talk) 22:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Lord Mayor or Cathaoirleach?
User:Snappy in reverting recent edits gave the following as the basis for the reversions: "restore Lord Mayor instead cathaoirleach - per common usage - Wikipedia is not here to mirror statute law, it is not a government body, it follows common usage and convention". I don't understand the expression as used "mirror". For sure Wiki is not a legislature, but where a legislature has enacted something within its competance, is Wiki to entirely ignore it? Do we not have a duty to show that a certain position is the legal position? The formal statement of an official legal position does not of course preclude references to other usages that may still have common currency. On the other hand, the continuing presence of common usage expressions canot be allowed as a pretext for the exclusion of all mention of the legal position, which is what User:Snappy's reversions have achieved. The reversions were too heavy handed and need to be considerably, if not wholly, undone. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
