Emma Murphy «looking forward to representing the community» in new role.

Fianna Fáil councillor Emma Murphy has been elected mayor of South Dublin County Council, becoming the first LGBTQ+ woman to be elected as mayor of a local authority in Ireland.

Speaking after her election, Cllr Murphy said she was «thrilled» to be elected.

«As an LGBTQ+ woman it is a huge honour to be the first woman from my community to hold the office of mayor in the State. On the eve of the ‘Dublin Pride Festival‘, I hope this sends a message of hope and solidarity to all members of the LGBTQ+ community», she said according to The Irish Times.
