Talk:Lord Mayor of Dublin

Mansion House picture
What happened to the Mansion House pic?

Another user downloaded a picture of the Mansion House tube station using the same name for the jpeg and it replaced the original, which after numerous attempts we found could not be got back. I don't have the original anymore (I had taken it). I'll have to take a new one when I get the time. FearÉIREANN 19:49, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I might do a separate piece on the Ball family
 * Margaret Ball - mayoress - 1553-1554
 * Walter Ball - her son - 1580-1581 - who implemented the reformation by martyring his mother
 * Nicholas Ball - her second son - 1582-1583 - who opposed his brother Nicholas
 * Robert Ball 1604-1605 and 1609-1610 - Walter's son, a protestant
 * Edward Ball 1621-1622 - is brother, protestant
 * Walter Sedgrave 1588-1589, catholic, married to Eleanor, daugher of Margaret
 * this list continues
 * Francis Taylor 1595-1596, catholic martyr. - Is it true that he is the only politician who is a saint (politician as defined as one holding elected office)?

Is Lords Mayor the correct plural? I would have thought Lord Mayors.

Mayoral Reform
As of 2010 the local government in Dublin will be reformed creating a new directly elected Mayor with executive powers, like the Mayor of London. Maybe we should add a section covering the changes and perhaps a comparison between the powers of the mayor of London and the mayor of Dublin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.48.60 (talk) 09:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

New Lord Mayor?
www.politics.ie is reprting that councillor Paddy Bourke of the Labour Party was elected Lord Mayor last night. Not citable, and none of the papers seem to have picked this up, though Lozleader 09:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Maor Tráchta Bhaile Átha Cliath?!
Who provided the above as the Irish version of Lord Mayor of Dublin? It means Dublin Traffic Warden! The proper Irish version should be Ardmhéara Bhaile Átha Cliath. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.128.155 (talk) 16:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Hutton
Was Mr. Hutton the Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1851? Online content about the "Irish State Coach" says that Mr. Hutton built the coach and that he was Lord Mayor of Dublin at the time. The wikipedia page here does not have him listed. One recent newspaper article says that he built it for the Lord Mayor, but most websites say that the Lord Mayor of the time was also the coachmaker. What is clear is that the coachmaker was Mr. Hutton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.216.92.119 (talk • contribs)


 * No. Hutton wasn't the Lord Mayor in 1851. The Lord Mayor in 1851 was very definitely Guinness. See the council's own historic list of mayors at: http://www.dublincity.ie/YourCouncil/LordMayorDublin/HistoryofLordMayor/Pages/HistoryLordMayorsOffice.aspx I think the confusion here is the wording you are referring to. "The Lord Mayor built the coach in 1851" reflects that it was built "on the order of" the Lord Mayor. It doesn't mean he got out his tools and did it himself. Compare "the pharaohs built the pyramids". It doesn't mean that they actually got down on their hands and knees, and carved them out themselves. Guliolopez (talk) 08:58, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Upon further investigation, there does seem to be some confusion with various sources about where the coach came from, and who built it. A few points of clarification:
 * COACH
 * The Irish State Coach was built by "John Hutton & Sons", coachbuilders of Summerhill in Dublin.
 * It was built in 1851.
 * It was given to or bought by Queen Victoria. (Either as a commission based on experience with another Hutton coach, or because she saw it/liked it/bought it during a visit to Ireland.)
 * It was certainly in use as a state coach in London by 1852.
 * 1851 MAYOR
 * Benjamin Guinness was DEFINITELY the Lord Mayor in 1851. (He was the first elected mayor, so the date/facts here are not disputable here).
 * Whether/not Guinness had a connection to the Hutton's of Summerhill is unknown (to me).
 * It seems pretty clear that he commissioned the coach. (Either directly, or on behalf of Vic.)
 * MAYOR HUTTON
 * Some sources seem to suggest that the coach was built by "Hutton, a coachbuilder and Lord Mayor of Dublin".
 * There was a Henry Hutton who was the Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1803.
 * Whether or not HE has a connection to the Hutton's of Summerhill is unknown (to me).
 * If he was a Hutton of the coach builders, then it would seem POSSIBLE that the various sources are possibly not making it sufficiently clear that: it was built by Hutton's, one of whom was a previous lord mayor, but WASN'T Lord Mayor at the time of the coach's construction. (Though I can find no evidence that even this is true. It should certainly be pointed out that the Hutton who was lord mayor in 1803 would have been well and truely dead by the time the coach was built.).
 * In short, any sources which suggest that the coach was built by a coachbuilder named Hutton, who was Lord Mayor AT THE TIME, are almost definitely confused. Guliolopez (talk) 12:55, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Henry Hutton Lord mayor of Dublin in 1803 died in 1808 and is a brother of mr Hutton who started to the coachbuilding business in 1779 of which i am a descendant.

Richard Muton

 * Are there any information known about Richard Muton or is "Richard Muton was the first Mayor" the only thing which is known? --77.129.223.96 (talk) 16:03, 1 April 2009 (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) 20:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * For common usage see DCC website, the Meet the Lord Mayor section, and news reports on RTE did not mention the election of a Cathaoirleach of DCC. For statute, see section 32 of the Local government act, 2001, which is the official legal position,: '(3) Where titles are continued in accordance with subsection (1), the holders of the offices concerned shall, as appropriate, be styled— (b) in the case of Dublin City Council, in the Irish language “Ard-Mhéara Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath” and “Leas Ard-Mhéara Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath”, and in the English language “Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin” and “Deputy Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin”.' Snappy (talk) 21:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the basis for the non reversion? Common usage or Section 32 or both? Wouldn't a reliance on Section 32, either wholly or in part, serve to undermine your case for common usage as being sufficient in itself in the case of the County Dublin discussion? Section 32 alone is adequate for my tastes. Nevertheless, the remaining excised bits from the Act are still valid and should be included, if not in the lead, then elsewehre in the article. The cuts have been too deep. Laurel Lodged (talk) 22:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The information added was misleading. For one thing the term "Cathaoirleach of Dublin City Council" is, as far as I can never used. Try googling it: there is one (Citizens Information) page which states correctly that "The Cathaoirleach of Dublin City Council and Cork City Council is called the Lord Mayor of the city and the Leas-Cathaoirleach is called the Deputy Lord Mayor." and the wikipedia article and derived pages. And that's it: the office is universally referred to as Lord Mayor and trying to assert anything else is unverifiable and/or original research. It's not common usage, it's not even uncommon usage. It's not used at all!
 * It also said: "The office was all but abolished under the Local Government Act 2001" when the opposite is closer to the truth, and the office was expressly preserved "Where... Cork City Council or Dublin City Council used the title ‘‘Lord Mayor’’ or ‘‘Deputy Lord Mayor’’...it shall continue to so use such title or titles". It did however give the councils the power to to change these titles to "Cathaoirleach" and Leas Cathaoirleach" by resolution. per section 32(1). There reference to section 11 about charters and letters patent becoming defunct, didn't apply to the lord mayoralty as 32(1) preserved the office at the council's pleasure, although it might be argued that this is the provision that disposed of the "Rt.Hon". Lozleader (talk) 23:07, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's all quite correct Lozleader. Also, using Cathaoirleach of DCC is total OR. To explain the 2001 Act, a brief mention could be added with some references. Snappy (talk) 12:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Could be? Seeing as you deleted them, shouldn't you judiciously restore them? Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:05, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * That's interesting, you comment on my throwaway remark at the end, but have nothing to sat on Lozleader's comments. Do you accept what Lozleader has said, and that what you added was OR? Snappy (talk) 13:08, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't you read my first reply where I said "Section 32 alone is adequate for my tastes"? Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I read it but I wasn't sure what you were blathering on about. Snappy (talk) 13:26, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

List of Mayors on Mansion House, Dublin
An anon Ip has been adding this list to Mansion House, Dublin. It was obviously the wrong place for it, but it seemed a bit churlish to delete it entirely. He/she obviously isn't too hot on formatting or referencing, and I'm wondering if it isn't a copyvio. Perhaps a separate "list" article might be assembled, but it all needs reffing Lozleader (talk) 22:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Lord Mayor's Curse?
I recently edited the article to delete Daithí de Róiste as a 'notable' Lord Mayor. No offence intended to Mr. de Róiste, but he isn't notable for any of the sorts of reasons other candidates are listed for. One thing he was listed for is being the first mayor to lose his council seat, but this isn't true. Eibhlin Byrne lost her seat in 2009, followed by Oisín Quinn in 2014. Nial Ring retained his seat in 2019, but Daithí de Róiste becomes the 3rd sitting Lord Mayor in 4 elections to lose their seat. Furthermore Royston Brady, sitting Lord Mayor, was not contesting his council seat but lost his bid for the European Parliament in the 2004 elections. That's 4 out of 5 Lord Mayors since 2004 losing out on election day.

Is this notable? Is it a curse? Does it deserve a section in the article? 193.1.200.196 (talk) 12:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Actually, Eibhlin Byrne like Royston Brady lost a European election and was not running for the locals on the same day. Oisin Quinn appears to be the 1st Lord Mayor to lose his seat, but I still think its notable that 2 Lord Mayors before him lost elections and their political career came to an end.193.1.200.196 (talk) 12:16, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It is mildly interesting but not notable and not deserving of a section in the article. Also, there are probably lots more Lord Mayors who lost their seats if you went through all the records for the 19th and 20th centuries. Spleodrach (talk) 15:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
