The main cities in the Republic of Ireland are Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Waterford and Kilkenny . These 5 cities trace their city status to historic royal charters. Kilkenny, however, is legally a town, with a population of circa 25,000. Dublin is the capital and primate city, with over 0.5 million people inhabiting the Dublin city area - almost 4 times that of Cork. Galway was granted city status in 1985 by the Local Government (Reorganisation) Act.
