The arms were granted to Dún Laoghaire Corporation on 9 February, 1954. | |||
[[Literature]] : Image from [[Jaja|JaJa Postcard]] | The crown symbolises Laoghaire, King of Leinster, after whom the town is called after. The bishop’s mitre represents the old monastic settlement at Monkstown. The tower refers to the fact that Dún Laoghaire is a harbour, while the ship stands for the Viking origins. | ||
The arms are not that much different to the earlier ones which were used unofficially. One of the differences is the British crown is replaced with that of an antique Irish one. | |||
