# 1902 Dublin Corporation election

An election to Dublin Corporation took place in March 1902 as part of that year's Irish local elections. The election saw a small decline in Labour representation, whilst the Nationalists continued their dominance of the council.
Since the last election the rifts between the United Irish League and the Irish National League had been healed, with the two groups reuniting.
