The Local Government (Dublin) Act, 1993 was an Act passed by the Oireachtas. It abolished the county of Dublin and awarded county status to:

  • Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown and established Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council,
  • South Dublin and established South Dublin County Council and
  • Fingal and established Fingal County Council.

    • These new administrative counties have all the powers and institutions of the traditional counties.

    Section 9 Part 1(a) states that on the establishment day (1 January 1994) the previous county of Dublin "shall cease to exist."

    Section 15 Part 2 dissolved the former Dún Laoghaire Corporation.

    The Act was enacted by the then Minister for the Environment, Michael Smith
