The Dublin Council of Trade Unions is the trades council for County Dublin in Ireland. In 1884, 34 craft unions were involved in organising an exhibition of artisan work in Dublin. This necessitated regular meetings, and encouraged the unions to continue working together. As a result, in 1886, 27 of the unions founded the Dublin Council of Trade Unions, with a meeting at the Odd Fellow's Hall.〔"The Dublin Council of Trade Unions", ''AP/RN'', 27 February 1986〕 The organisation was successful, and by 1894 it was able to convene a meeting of trade unions from across Ireland, which formed the Irish Trade Union Congress (ITUC).〔Alan Clinton, ''The Trade Union Rank and File: Trades Councils in Britain, 1900-40'', p.101〕 In the 1920s, supporters of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union left the council to form the Dublin Workers' Council, while supporters of the Workers' Union of Ireland, led by P. T. Daly, dominated the council. They joined the Profintern and disaffiliated from the Labour Party.〔Emmett O'Connor, "Syndicalism, Industrial Unionism and Nationalism in Ireland", in ed. Steven Hirsch and Lucien van der Walt, ''Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World'', pp.219-220〕 At the 1923 general election, the council put up four candidates in Dublin seats. None were elected, although Daly beat the official Labour Party candidate.〔Peter Barberis et al, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations'', p.734〕〔Arthur Mitchell, ''Labour in Irish politics, 1890-1930'', p.189〕 Following the 1945 split in the Irish Trade Union Congress, the Dublin Council split into the Dublin Council of Trade Unions and the Dublin Trades' Union Council. The two reunited in 1960, and the reunited organisation played a leading role in the Dublin Housing Action Committee.〔 ==Secretaries== :1886: John Simmons :1915: William X.
