In the Free State, rural district councils were abolished by the Local Government Act 1925 (the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1930 for County Dublin). Urban districts were renamed "towns" by the Local Government Act 2001, and abolished by the Local Government Reform Act 2014, which established municipal districts covering rural and urban areas of most counties. The 2001 act also renamed "county borough corporations" as "city councils". The introduction of a council–manager system in 1929–40 significantly changed the operation of county and city councils.
