The chain is the outward sign of the office of the Lord Mayor and is worn within the city when performing official civic functions, important ceremonial occasions and also as appropriate at other times, such as opening conferences, new businesses, etc. It is also worn, at the Lord Mayor's discretion, when paying visits to such places as schools, churches and the emergency services.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin's gold chain of office was presented by [[William III of England|King William III]] to the City of Dublin in 1698. The chain is composed of decorative links including the Tudor rose, a harp, a trefoil-shaped knot and the letter S (thought to stand for [[Seneschal]] or Steward). A circular gold medal with the bust of William III hangs from the chain.<ref name=CityRegalia>{{cite web|url=https://www.dublincity.ie/council/your-city-council/lord-mayor-dublin/history/city-regalia|title=City Regalia|work=Dublin City Council|date=7 March 2018|access-date=30 June 2021|archive-date=1 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210601174242/https://www.dublincity.ie/council/your-city-council/lord-mayor-dublin/history/city-regalia|url-status=live}}</ref> The previous chain was not returned by [[Michael Creagh (politician)|Michael Creagh]], the Protestant Jacobite Lord Mayor in 1688–1689.
