As with all Lord Mayors of Dublin, McAuliffe received a grant of arms from the Chief Herald of Ireland in 2019. The wavy lines represent the Rivers Feale (where the armiger's paternal grandfather is from in County Kerry), the river Fionnghlas where the family moved to in Finglas and the river Liffey representing their time as Lord Mayor. The Tower acts represents the city of Dublin and it is supported by two mermaids. The mermaids are taken from a previous grant of arms to Dermot McAuliffe of the McAuliffe Regiment of Spain. The arms were granted in 1709 when Dermot McAuliffe and many other Gaelic exiles sought to join armies in Europe. The arms provided proof of Dermot McAuliffe's status as a gentleman, which seems to have been a necessary qualification for officers in the Spanish army. The Mermaids were brought into Paul McAuliffe's grant of arms on the advice of the Herald at Arms as they are an uncommon charge in Irish heraldry and provided a historic reference. <br> | As with all Lord Mayors of Dublin, McAuliffe received a grant of arms from the Chief Herald of Ireland in 2019.
