Limerick is the first local authority in Ireland to have directly elected mayor, following a plebiscite held at the previous council election. The election was held under the Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2024.[1] Candidates were nominated by a registered political party or with the support of 60 electors.
There were fifteen declared candidates in the contest for mayor, ten from political parties, and five independent candidates.
