Local authorities may run events and activities including tours, recitals and re-enactments to celebrate and build awareness of Ireland's heritage and support its conservation, as part of National Heritage Week.
You must apply for planning permission if you want to build or demolish property, or significantly alter the use of land or property unless the development is exempt.
You can apply to the local authority to extend the duration of a grant of planning permission if the work is not complete before the grant of planning permission expires.
Local authorities set up and support networks to encourage registered community, voluntary, social inclusion and environmental groups to take part in the council's decision-making and policy making processes, and to monitor local authority activities.
Local authorities prepare a record of protected structures of architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest. You can have an input into the record through consultation.
