{{Main|History of Dublin}}
The office of '''Mayor of Dublin''' was created in June 1229 by [[Henry III of England|Henry III]]. The office of ''Mayor'' was elevated to ''[[Lord mayor|Lord Mayor]]'' in 1665 by [[Charles II of England|Charles II]], and as part of this process received the honorific ''[[the Right Honourable]]'' (''the Rt Hon.''). Lord mayors were {{lang|la|ex-officio}} members of the [[Privy Council of Ireland]], which also entitled them to be addressed as ''the Right Honourable''. Though the Privy Council was {{lang|la|de facto}} abolished in 1922, the Lord Mayor continued to be entitled to be addressed as The Right Honourable as a result of the [[Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840]], which granted the title in law. The [[Local Government Act 2001]] finally removed the title as a consequence of the repeal of the 1840 act.
