Description: Dublin, the capital of Ireland The City is governed by Dublin City Council, which is presided over by the Lord Mayor, who is elected for a yearly term and resides in the Mansion House. Dublin City Council is based in two major buildings. Meetings take place in the headquarters at Dublin City Hall, the former Royal Exchange taken over for city government use in the 1850s. Many of its administrative staff are based in the Civic Offices on Wood Quay. The City Council is a unicameral assembly of 52 members, elected every five years from Local Election Areas. The party with the majority of seats (or a coalition of parties who form a majority) decides who sits on what committee, what policies are followed, and who becomes Lord Mayor. Chaired by the Lord Mayor, the Council passes an annual budget for spending on housing, traffic management, refuse, drainage, planning, etc. The Dublin City Manager is responsible for the implementation of decisions of the City Council. The current ruling coalition, after the 2009 local elections, is the Democratic Alliance, made up of Labour and Fine Gael. Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin, People Before Profit Alliance and non-party councillors act as opposition. The current Lord Mayor is Gerry Breen, who was elected in June 2010. In 2008, the national government announced plans for local government reform, with the biggest change being plans for an elected Mayor of Dublin with executive powers. The plan also includes local plebiscites, petition rights, participatory budgeting and city meetings.

You ask, quietly, to borrow it. ~Author Unknown or this...... Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man. ~Edward Steichen ......plus this great thought........ The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. ~Henri Cartier Bresson Thoughts about Beauty...... Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see. ~George W. Russell More about beauty please......
