Catherine Slattery's role was created in 2024 — she is the chief councillor. 

Limerick chief councillor, príomh chomhairleoir, Catherine Slattery said she has been “disrespected, demeaned, and intimidated” after Limerick mayor John Moran made a comment about her during a council meeting.

During a council meeting on Monday, Ms Slattery demanded an apology from Mr Moran for a comment he allegedly made which was not picked up, but muffled, on microphone.
