Limerick City Council (Irish: Comhairle Cathrach Luimnigh) was the local authority of the city of Limerick in Ireland. The council had 17 elected members. The head of the council had the title of mayor. Limerick City Council was the smallest local government area in Ireland by area (20.35 km2) and 30th (out of 34 authorities) in terms of population. It was abolished in 2014 when the Local Government Reform Act 2014 was implemented.[1] It was succeeded by Limerick City and County Council.
