Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe congratulated his constituency and party colleague.
“A glorious moment as my wonderful friend Ray McAdam arrives at the Mansion House having been elected as the 358th Lord Mayor Dublin,” he said in a post on X.
“Ray is one of the hardest working people I know. He is ambitious for the role and will do a magnificent job. I wish him all the luck in the world.”
Mr McAdam was first elected as a councillor in 2009 and was re-elected in 2014, 2019 and 2024.
He has co-chaired the O’Devaney Gardens Redevelopment Community Consultative Forum since 2017 and is on the board of Dublin Town.
Sinn Fein’s Kourtney Kenny had been put forward as a joint opposition candidate by her own party, the Social Democrats, People Before Profit and the Independent Group.
