Following the 1991 local elections 4 members of the Green Party were elected to Dublin City Council, including 20-year old Sadhbh O' Neill who was elected to represent the Donaghmede electoral area. As the youngest ever member of Dublin City Council, O'Neill's election caused a stir, as she had not done any canvassing or campaigning prior to the election, and was in fact in the US on a J1 visa during the election itself. She then spent the next five years as an active public representative, and was Dublin's Deputy Lord Mayor in 1994-5 during John Gormley's tenure as Lord Mayor.
