Talk:Lord Mayor of Cork
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It's tricky to define what makes someone notable. I've added a couple of names where a wikipedia article exists. Irlchrism 11:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "The Right Worshipful"
I have removed this title as I can find no authoritive references and indeed the Local Government Act, Section 32 would appear to be at conflict in any case. We need to cite if we use abstract terms. Djegan 13:23, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- I can't find any evidence at the moment, but I would appreciate it if you left the title of "Right Worshipful" in. It is a well known fact that the Lord Mayor of Cork is granted this title while in office, but must relinquish it when the office term is over. If you can't find any proof yourself, I would suggest reading a history book. I believe that all titles of Lord Mayor that are not granted the title of "Rt. Honourable" (as in Dublin) are granted the title automatically of "Rt. Worshipful" (as in Cork).

- What I will do is contact the council to determine its status. It appears entirely believeable that the term was used in past years but the local government act of 2001 appears to have removed all honourifics from titles of Lord Mayors, you can see the above link to the relevent section of the act.
