21st Century Change of Name
On 1 January 2002, following a major reform of local government which also abolished the 300 year old title of Alderman in the Republic of Ireland and 700 year old title of 'town clerk' in Dublin, the ancient name of Dublin Corporation was abolished, with the 19th century name Dublin City Council, that previously had been used simply to refer to the assembly of elected councillors, being given for the entire administration.

Famous quotes containing the words century and/or change:
“All I have to do
is hear his name
and every hair on my body
just bristles with desire.
When I see
the moon of his face,
this frame of mine
oozes sweat like a moonstone.
When that man
as dear to me as breath
steps close enough to me
to stroke my neck,
the thought of jealousy
is shattered in my heart
that’s hard as diamond
sometimes.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“I admire people who are suited to the contemplative life.... They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It’s wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
