Fellow councillor Gary Gannon of the Social Democrats was delighted with his election and wrote on Twitter: "Delighted to say that a fellow son of the North Inner City, Cllr Nial Ring has been selected as the Lord Mayor of Dublin. A really decent guy who will represent our city with pride."Congratulations to Cllr @nialring on becoming the 349th @LordMayorDublin !
