Fine Gael's Ray McAdam has been elected Lord Mayor of Dublin.
The north inner city councillor was chosen at an annual meeting this evening.
Fianna Fáil's John Stephens was also elected Deputy Lord Mayor.
Mr McAdam first became a city councillor in 2009, and is the 358th person to take on the role.
He replaces outgoing mayor Emma Blain, who is also a Fine Gael councillor.
He said that the theme of his term will be 'Celebrating Dublin', which he said will see a year-long focus on championing the city’s people, places and potential.
"Dublin is a city I love deeply. But like many Dubliners, I know it can do better.
"That's why the theme of my mayoralty is simple but powerful: Celebrating Dublin. To celebrate Dublin is not to ignore its problems. It’s the opposite. It’s about lifting our city up and asking it, and ourselves, to live up to the best of what it can be."
He added that his five main priorities will be tackling dereliction, promoting sport, making the city more accessible, and establishing a new platform that will be aimed at giving young people a stronger voice.
Mr McAdam was born in Cavan and raised in Northern Ireland.
He went to school in St Michael's College in Enniskillen, before moving to Dublin in 2002 to study philosophy and political science at Trinity College.
Before entering office he worked in sales and was also an aide to Minister Paschal Donohoe.
