dlr Councillors

There are 40 democratically-elected public representatives on Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.  The role of the councillors is to lay down the policy framework of dlr. 

Councillors have a varied list of responsibilities (referred to as 'reserved functions') which are to:

  • Make, amend and revoke byelaws
  • Adopt the annual budget
  • Make or vary the County Development Plan
  • Borrow Money
  • Confer a civic honour on a person

Cathaoirleach

Every year, the members elect a chair called A​n Cathaoirleach for a term of one year and a deputy chair called An Leas-Chathaoirleach from among its members.  An Cathaoirleach acts as the first citizen of the County and, in addition to chairing meetings of the Local Authority, he/she also carries out ceremonial duties.  When An Cathaoirleach is unavailable these duties are then carried out by An Leas-Chathaoirleach.  

At its annual meeting held on 21st June 2024, Cllr Jim O'Leary was elected Cathaoirleach and Cllr Kazi Ahmed was elected Leas-Chathaoirleach. The next Cathaoirleach will be nominated at the June 2025 Council AGM.
