Dublin's New Lord Mayor Takes Oath | Dublin News

Dublin’s newest Lord Mayor, Daryl Barron, has officially taken the reins after a decisive win over Jesslyn Henry, marking his historic moment as the 359th person to hold the title. Elected with 33 votes to 21, Barron — a longtime councillor and former finance professional representing Donnaghmede — secured broad cross-party support including Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Greens, Labour, and independents. His victory is part of a rotating leadership agreement following the last election.

Making Dublin safer, cleaner, tackling empty buildings and housing crises, and empowering young people — all to ensure the city lives up to the promise for his son’s generation.
