SINCE FINE GAEL’S James Geoghegan has been elected as a TD for Dublin Bay South, Dublin City Council needs a new Lord Mayor.
Geoghegan became Lord Mayor in June of this year when the current Dublin City Council was elected.
The Fine Gael members of the Council are to meet this week to discuss Geoghegan’s successor, councillor Ray McAdam told The Journal.
Congratulations to James Geoghegan @GeogheganCllr who yesterday was elected as a TD to Dáil Éireann. Upon election he ceased to be an Elected Member of Dublin City Council and the 356th Lord Mayor of Dublin. pic.twitter.com/ITvMXH3NKa

There will then be a special meeting of the council where new members will be co-opted to take the place of outgoing members who secured seats in the Dáil in the general election.
Seven Dublin city councillors won Dáil seats over the weekend.

Sorry to say, but James did not give the position of Lord Mayor the respect it deserves. Hopefully, the new Lord mayor will be a breath of fresh air and honour Dublin and it’s Citizens with the respect they deserve.
@Billy Carroll: wonder if the hutch will run
Hazel Chu made the Mayor of Dublin unlikeable.
@Gerard Cosgrove: is the crib going to have real animals this year ?
the photo is such a bad PR from the 50′s to look cool with someone at the door smiling.
when you see the state of Dublin, questions have to be answered for.
have your say
