Galway City Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galway City Council (Comhairle Cathrach na Gaillimhe) is an institution of local government in Galway, Ireland. Previously Galway Corporation, it was founded in 1485 by The Tribes of Galway via a Charter of Mayorality granted to the town in December 1484 by King Richard III. The first Mayor of Galway was Peirce Lynch. Dissolved in 1841 and replaced with the Galway Urban District Council, but revived in 1937 as a borough and in 1986 as a county borough.
The official title of the council is "The Mayor, Aldermen and Burgesses of the County Borough of Galway".
