Mayors or Cathaoirligh of Irish cities or other local government areas are not presumed to be notable under ], or specifically under ]. However, I’d propose two exceptions:
* the ], being the first citizen of the capital and largest city (and in practice all mayors dating to 1873 have an article); and
* the Limerick Mayor, being a directly-elected office with a five-year term.
(For clarity, I’m referring to the individuals holding these offices, not the articles on the offices themselves). ] (]) 15:03, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

According to a tweet by Gavan Reilly (which I can't link to - I only saw a screenshot of it and I'm not on that site any more, but his account is @gavreilly), MEPs only take office on July 17, so the TDs who were elected as MEPs stay as TDs until July 16. I'm not proposing we go change anything back, but some may want to. ]<sup>]</sup> 17:57, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

== ''Seats before'' in election infoboxes ==

Looking over pages for general elections, I'm have a slight caution about the "Seats Before" row in the infobox. Take ] for example: it lists Clann na Poblachta as having 10 seats before the election. However, Browne had left before the election, and from my memory of reading about the period, he wasn't the only one. The Fine Gael figure should be lower because of the death of ] and the resignation of ] (see ]). Last week I added a note of the vacancy in the ] from the appointment of ] to the Supreme Court in December 1936, which hadn't previously been accounted for. All of which suggests to me that the ''Seats before'' figure in various elections is unreliable, and in some cases inaccurate, relying on small amount of ]. FWIW, it's not a row used in ], etc., but I had drafted this comment here before noticing those as a comparison. ] (]) 15:37, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
