City in Northern Ireland:
City in the Republic of Ireland:
Administrative unit termed a "city"
City within "city and county" administrative unit
Ceremonial city within "county" administrative unit
Former city (status lost before partition)
In Ireland, the term city has somewhat differing meanings in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Historically, city status in the United Kingdom, and before that in the Kingdom of Ireland, was a ceremonial designation. It carried more prestige than the alternative municipal titles "borough", "town" and "township", but gave no extra legal powers. This remains the case in Northern Ireland, which is still part of the United Kingdom. In the Republic of Ireland, "city" has an additional designation in local government.
