List of subdivisions of County Dublin

County Dublin refers to a subdivision of Ireland occasioned by the Norman invasion of Ireland. This shire or county underwent further subdivisions as the territory was subinfeudated by the great barons among their vassals; these smaller areas were known as baronies. Under the government of the Kingdom of Ireland, baronies were in turn split into civil parishes. These also were split into the lowest recognised legal unit of land - the townland.

In 1994, County Dublin was abolished as a local government area, to be replaced by Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. In 2001, the county borough of Dublin, was renamed Dublin City, with the Dublin Corporation replaced by Dublin City Council.

Legal status

The Dublin Region is a NUTS III statistical region in Ireland, as recognised by the European Union. It is one of eight regions of the Republic of Ireland.[1] The region encompasses those areas previously defined by the county of Dublin, being the local government areas of:

For the elections to the Dáil, the boundaries of the constituencies must respect the overall boundaries of the Dublin.

Usage

While no organ of the state continues to officially recognise the former county of Dublin, there are certain exceptions. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland, both the Department of Health and the Department of the Taoiseach referred to "County Dublin" when reporting county-by-county incidences and when announcing local lockdowns, rather than using the term "Dublin Region" or its four local government areas.[2] Further, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce refers to Dublin as both a county and a region interchangeably.[3]

The term "County Dublin" is a recognised placename for all four local government areas collectively.[4][5] The term still in common use and residents in all four local government areas share a collective Dublin identity. Dublin is still organised as a county by the Gaelic Athletic Association in the case of Dublin GAA.
