List of subdivisions of County Dublin

County Dublin refers to a subdivision of Ireland occasioned by the Norman invasion of Ireland. This shire or county underwent further subdivisions as the territory was subinfeudated by the great barons among their vassals; these smaller areas were known as baronies. Under the government of the Kingdom of Ireland, baronies were in turn split into civil parishes. These also were split into the lowest recognised legal unit of land - the townland.

In 1994, County Dublin's administrative councils (Dublin County Council and Dublin Corporation) were formally abolished, and new legal entities were created.

The Dublin Region is a region of the Republic of Ireland as recognised by the European Union. It is one of eight regions of the Republic of Ireland [1] The region is under the administration of the Dublin Regional Authority (Irish Údarás Réigiúnda Átha Cliath). The region encompasses those areas previously defined by the county of Dublin, specifically following local government administrative areas:

For the purposes of elections to the Dáil, the boundaries of the constituencies must respect the overall boundaries of the Dublin Region. In defining such boundaries in legislation, no mention is made to County Dublin, only the Dublin Region under the remit of the Authority.

Usage

While no organ of the state continues to officially recognise the former county of Dublin, there are certain exceptions. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland, both the Department of Health and the Department of the Taoiseach referred to "County Dublin" when reporting county-by-county incidences and when announcing local lockdowns, rather than using the term "Dublin Region" or its four local authorities. Further, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce refers to Dublin as both a county and a region interchangeably.[2]

Much like the six Counties of Northern Ireland, the term "County Dublin" is still in common use and residents in all four local authorities share a collective Dublin identity, despite it having no administrative purpose. Dublin is still formally recognised as a county by the Gaelic Athletic Association in the case of Dublin GAA.
