| Collection Description | Dún Laoghaire Corporation was established on 14 October 1930,
on foot of the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930, which
amalgamated the Urban District Council's of Blackrock, Dalkey,
Killiney-Ballybrack and Dún Laoghaire. These local authorities had
been constituted as townships in the mid-nineteenth century and
designated as U.D.C.'s under the Local Government (Ireland) Act
1898.
The records transferred from the disbanded
authorities to Dún Laoghaire together with those extant in Dún
Laoghaire's Town Hall constitute the main archive of the
Corporation. Also included in this list are primary records created by
then Corporation from its inception until 1973, when a full-time
borough manager was appointed, and records of the Dean's
Grange Joint Burial Board.
The records have been
divided into five mini collections in recognition of the independent
existence of the authorities prior to the 1930 amalgamation. Each
collection has been given the reference prefix L.A. for Local
Authority, LA1 is Blackrock; LA2 - Dalkey; LA3 - Killiney-Ballybrack;
LA4 - Kingstown-Dún Laoghaire and LA5 - Dún Laoghaire
Corporation.
