Waterford (from Old Norse Veðrafjǫrðr, meaning "ram (wether) fjord"; Irish: Port Láirge, meaning "Lárag's port") is a city in Ireland. It is in the South-East of Ireland and is part of the province of Munster. It is the oldest and the fifth most populous city within Ireland. It is the eighth most populous city on the island of Ireland. Waterford City and County Council is the local government authority for the city.
According to the 2011 Irish Census, there are 65,928 in the Waterford Metropolitan District, however it does not include its suburbs in County Kilkenny and County Wexford. There are over 80,000 within a 15km radius of the city centre.
With a population of 46,732, Waterford is the fifth most populous city in the State and the 32nd most populous area of local government.
Following the Local Government Reform Act 2014, Waterford City and County Council is the local government authority for the city. The authority came into operation on 1 June 2014. Prior to this the city had its own local council, Waterford City Council. The new Council is the result of a merger of Waterford City Council and Waterford County Council. The Council has 32 representatives (councillors) who are elected from five electoral areas. The city itself forms three of the electoral areas – which when combined form the Metropolitan District of Waterford – and returns a total of 18 councillors to Waterford City and County Council. Residents in these areas are restricted to voting for candidates located in their ward for local elections. The office of the Mayor of Waterford was established in 1377. A mayor is then elected by the councillors from the two electoral areas of the Metropolitan District of Waterford every year, and there is no limit to the number of terms an individual may serve. Mary O'Halloran who was mayor during 2007–2008 was the first woman to hold the post. The current mayor is John Cummins.
Waterford - Ireland Oldest City Credit to the original uploader Philip Dean Communications Waterford City is the capital of the Sunny South East of Ireland and Ireland's oldest city. Viking raiders first established a settlement near Waterford in 853AD. It and all the other longphorts were vacated in 902, the Vikings having been driven out by the native Irish. The Vikings re-established themselves in Ireland at Waterford in 914, led at first by Ottir Iarla (Jarl Ottar) until 917, and after that by Ragnall ua Ímair and the Uí Ímair dynasty, and built what would be Ireland's first city. Among the most prominent rulers of Waterford was Ivar (The Boneless) of Waterford. In 1167, Diarmait Mac Murchadha, the deposed King of Leinster, failed in an attempt to take Waterford. He returned in 117...

In Order of appearance: Dublin- we only stayed one night here (don’t worry we come back at the end) Blooms Hotel, Temple Bar- Besides the cool mural on the wall, the modern rooms, and extremely friendly staff, the location is in Temple Bar so you can walk to everything. The only bad thing about it were the loud doors that would slam shut in the morning waking us up. Vat House (http://vathouse.ie) (Bar attached to the Blooms Hotel)- You get a voucher for a free (half pint) Guinness when you stay at the Blooms so we (eventually) took advantage of this. The beer flights feature big glasses filled with Irish staple beers along with a few craft beers, you’ll need to venture further to find more of Ireland’s craft beer. We ate some killer Irish Oysters; Kyle doesn’t usually like Oysters but ...

Looking at Waterford
In those old cabinets
Is there something more?
I recall several thing
A few vague feelings
I'm nothing more
Lately I've been trying to remember
All the things that got me here
And lately I've been looking to the past
To understand the memories I recall
I was young, with no sense
Bounded of insolence
The stairs and I fall down
Maybe with melodies
Electric and in TVs
I have something to learn from
Now it's all been said
These things in my head
It's not like their move
But there's songs that ain't true
They've take some time
These thoughts to unwind
But they're here now
And we're running enough
Lately I've been trying to remember
All the things that got me here
And lately I've been looking to the past
To understand the memories I recall
It's just to understand the places I belong
It's just to understand with whom I belong
It's just to understand the man that I've become
