The councillors elected for the electoral areas of Ballybrack, Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire also served as the members of the Corporation of Dún Laoghaire, the council of the Borough of Dún Laoghaire.

From 1 January 1994, on the coming into effect of the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1993, County Dublin was disestablished as an administrative county, and in its place the electoral counties became three new counties. The Borough of Dún Laoghaire was also disestablished as of that date. The councillors listed below became the councillors for Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council from that date.[2]

The term of office was extended twice, first to 1998, then to 1999.[3][4]
