'''Dublin City Council''' ({{langx|ga|Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath}}) is the [[Local government in the Republic of Ireland|local authority]] of the city of [[Dublin]] in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. As a [[city council]], it is governed by the [[Local Government Act 2001]]. Until 2001, the authority was known as [[Dublin Corporation]]. The council is responsible for [[public housing]] and community, roads and transportation, [[urban planning]] and development, amenity and culture and [[natural environment|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 of Dublin|Lord Mayor]]. The city administration is headed by a [[Chief executive (Irish local government)|chief executive]], Richard Shakespeare. The council meets at [[City Hall, Dublin]].

==Legal status==
Local government in Dublin is regulated by the Local Government Act 2001. This provided for the renaming of the old [[Dublin Corporation]] to its present title of Dublin City Council. Dublin City Council sends seven representatives to the [[Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly]], one of three such Assemblies in the state.<ref>{{Cite Irish legislation|year=2014|type=si|number=573|name=Local Government Act 1991 (Regional Assemblies) (Establishment) Order 2014|date=16 December 2014|access-date=8 February 2022}}</ref>

Dublin City is bordered by the counties of [[Fingal]], [[South Dublin]] and [[Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown]]. These four local government areas comprise the traditional [[County Dublin]]. In 2013, all of Dublin's councils, except Fingal, supported the introduction of an [[Proposed directly elected mayor for the Dublin metropolitan area|executive mayor the Dublin Metropolitan Area]], and a [[Citizens' Assembly (Ireland)|Citizen's Assembly]] has been planned in order to establish what a combined Dublin Mayorship would look like.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}}

===Statutory functions ===
The functions of the City Council include: [[public housing]], [[Dublin City Libraries|city library services]], refuse services, drainage, driver and vehicle licensing, planning and roads. The Dublin City Council's Draft Budget for 2023 estimates a total revenue of €1.24&thinsp;bn, which is an increase of €0.11bn from the previous year. The Housing and Building Division is the service with the largest spend, with an estimated operational expenditure of €550.5&thinsp;m, almost €53&thinsp;m more than in 2022. The estimated income for Housing and Building in 2023 is €457.5&thinsp;m, up from €420.6m in 2022. The draft budget aims to maintain existing service levels at 2022 levels, with some modest increases in a small number of areas.

== Budget ==
=== 2023 (draft) ===
The estimated expenditure for 2023 is €1.24&thinsp;bn, which is an increase of €0.11&thinsp;bn over the 2022 Budget of €1.130&thinsp;bn.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Owen P. Keegan Chief Executive |title=Comhairle Cathrach Bhaile Átha Cliath Dréachtbhuiséad 2023 Dublin City Council Draft Budget 2023 |url=https://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/2022-11/Dublin%20City%20Council%20Draft%20Revenue%20Budget%202023.pdf}}</ref> The expenditure is divided into several service divisions, including Housing & Building, Road Transport & Safety, Water Services, Development Management, Environmental Services, Culture, Recreation & Amenity, and Agriculture, Education, Health & Welfare. The Housing and Building Division remains the service with the largest spend, with an estimated operational expenditure of €550.5m in 2023, almost €53m more than in 2022 (€497.4m). This increase relates to services that are largely government-funded, such as homeless services and RAS.

The estimated expenditure for each service division is:
* Housing and Building: €550,484,483 
* Water Services: €68,093,780
* Development Management: €63,715,641 
* Environmental Services: €247,419,867 
* Culture, Recreation and Amenity: €122,254,773 
* Agriculture, Education, Health and Welfare: €2,746,874

Compared to the 2022 budget, the estimated expenditure for 2023 increased by €0.11&thinsp;bn. This increase is largely due to the increased spending on Housing and Building services, which are largely Government funded. The estimated net expenditure for each service division in the Dublin City Council's Draft Budget for 2023 is listed above

The 2022 budget allocated €15.4&thinsp;mn for energy-related expenses for Dublin City Council (DCC). DCC faces an additional €22.5&thinsp;mn in costs over 2022 and 2023 due to energy and non-energy inflation. The government provides €5&thinsp;mn for rising energy costs, and DCC bears the impact of broader inflation. Additionally, a public sector pay deal includes €9.9&thinsp;mn and €25.9&thinsp;mn in 2022 and 2023, respectively, to support the City Council as an employer.

==History==
[[File:Dublin City in Ireland.svg|thumb|235px|The area governed by the council]]
{{See also|Local government in Dublin}}
Prior to 1841, the administrative and governmental system of Dublin, known as [[Dublin Corporation]], was [[bicameral]] having an assembly of called the "House of Aldermen" and another called the "House of Sheriffs and Commons". Under the [[Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840]], they were replaced by a unicameral assembly. The name ''Dublin City Council'' was adopted for the unicameral assembly. The [[Lord Mayor of Dublin]] presided over the assembly. This office had existed since 1665. The first City Council was elected in October 1841 when [[Daniel O'Connell]] became the first Lord Mayor. Since 1 January 2002, the functions of local government have been transferred to Dublin City Council.<ref>{{cite Irish legislation|year=2001|number=37|name=[[Local Government Act 2001]]|section=10|stitle=Local government areas|quote=S. 10(2): The State continues to stand divided into local government areas to be known as counties and cities which are the areas set out in Parts 1 and 2, respectively, of Schedule 5.|date=21 July 2001|access-date=23 June 2021}}</ref> To coincide with its name change, the city council adopted a new logo and brand identity, based on a simplified version of the ancient "three castles" symbol.

==Structures==
Executive power is shared between the council and an appointed executive official known as the [[Chief executive (Irish local government)|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 has 63 members. The City Council meets in [[plenary session]] on the first Monday of every month in [[City Hall, Dublin|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.

==Elections==
Members of Dublin City Council are elected for a five-year term of office on the [[electoral system]] of [[proportional representation]] by means of the [[single transferable vote]] from multi-member [[local electoral area]]s.
