Dublin City Council (Irish: Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath) is the authority responsible for local government in the city of Dublin in Ireland. As a city council, it is governed by the Local Government Act 2001. Until 2001, the council was known as "Dublin Corporation". The council is responsible for housing and community, roads and transportation, urban planning and development, amenity and culture and environment. The council has 63 elected members and is the largest local council in Ireland. Elections are held every five years and are by single transferable vote. The head of the council has the honorific title of Lord Mayor. The city administration is headed by a Chief Executive, Owen Keegan. The council meets at City Hall, Dublin. Local government in Dublin is regulated by the Local Government Act 1994. This provided for the renaming of the old Dublin Corporation to its present title of Dublin City Council, as well as dividing the neighbouring Dublin County Council into the three council areas of Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown. These four councils collectively comprise County Dublin, also known as the Dublin Region. All of Dublin's councils, except Fingal, supported the introduction of a new executive mayor of a combined Dublin authority in 2013, and a Citizen's Assembly will be established during 2019 in order to establish what a combined Dublin Mayorship would look like, with a plebiscite expected to take place sometime in 2020. Dublin lies within the Eastern & Midland Regional Authority, one of three such regions in the state. The functions of the City Council include: Public Housing, Library Services, Refuse Services, Drainage, Driver and Vehicle Licensing, Planning and Roads. The Council budgeted to spend €847,137,522 during 2007 in service of these functions. 50.5% of this went towards the payroll of the Council's staff which was a reduction from 50.7% in 2006. In the case of Traffic Management, the Council receives grants from the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and also the National Roads Authority to assist it in meeting this responsibility. The 2007 roads budget was just over €105,000,000, to support maintenance of all roads in its functional area. Executive power is shared between the council and an appointed executive official known as the Chief Executive. The chief executive is responsible for a staff of 6,200. The offices of the chief executive and other administrative staff are based in the Civic Offices on Wood Quay. The Lord Mayor of Dublin acts as chair of the Council is the ceremonial head of the city government. Representative power is vested in the city assembly which consists of 63 members. Members are elected using proportional representation by means of the Single transferable vote, every five years from Dublin City Council local electoral areas. The City Council meets in plenary session on the first Monday of every month in Dublin City Hall. One of the Council's most important roles is that of passing an annual budget. Should any Irish council fail to pass a budget within the allotted time, the Minister for the Environment is empowered to abolish it and grant its powers to a commissioner until the next scheduled council elections.

De stad doet zijn best om de straten schoon te houden maar helaas werken de inwoners van Dublin niet mee. Veel junks en zwervers, ontzettend veel afval, tourisme draait vooral om drank (pubs, tshirts van drank merken..heel contrasterend gezien de grote hoeveelheid alcoholisten). Maar wat mij nog het meeste aangreep zijn de grote hoeveelheid vogels die te lijden hebben door het menselijk toedoen. Kapotte pootjes en snavels em zien er vies uit. Stad Dublin: doe wat aan het dierenleed!

Nice people I've spoken to on the phone. They were busy so i dint mind being on hold listening to relaxing music.. HOWEVER, every ten seconds this loud voice interrupt the music, reminding us that we are on hold and will be answered shortly. Once a minute, or two minutes is plenty, I've never meet this lady whose voice they play too much but i was really starting to dislike her!!

Impossible to get anything done with the council. They are unbelievably slow and the staff in there are extremely rude, agressive and unprofessional. You won't believe some of the things that they would say on the phone. They should all be monitored to how they are speaking to clients and customers. Ridiculous how they are getting away with this kinda of carry on and behaviour.

Clamping office and the guys are just below any morale standards. Just take the money and waste one’s time appealing for an online automated NO answer. The worst of the worst. Then the clamping van parks on a double yellow “because he had no where else to park”. This is just more tax revenue for the council and profit / bonus for the clampers from motorists. Taxes and profit!

Never diserved more its nickname of "sarcophagus". The place is closed to public - Covid restrictions!, yet the gentleman at the reception is really gentle and helpful... As usual, Irish style, 2 iddle security guards and one guy working... But he kept smiling and did his best...

Can we please please get sanitation workers in the North suburbs of Dublin please ? You can’t keep relying on volunteer groups to pick up litter. I never see the council doing this outside of the city centre. Please it’s very badly needed.

Restricted access, poor customer service and no support whatsoever. Closed cosy circle of friends managing themselves for decent salaries and taxpayers money. One star for location.

There are 2 lovely men working on Grafton Street this week - Philip and Liam. They are utterly charming and were so lovely to my 2 daughters. Great ambassadors for the council.

Rates office Sheila has been soo helpful in these tough times it pays too work together and hopefully we will get back to normal soon John Leonard

Wow, they really have brought public transport to a standstill. Somebody should tell them that they're supposed to help buses get about.

The City is filthy . No one cleaning or washing streets the weekend or evenings. It's a disgrace. What are you doing.

Really helped us out when we needed them the most, especially one girl, who will remain unnamed, she knows who she is

We all need homes and we want homes now is ireland so backward on houseing its population
