Local authorities, together with other stakeholders, may run music, art and theatre programmes in schools to encourage students to take part in the arts and give them an opportunity to perform.
Local authorities support the Cathaoirleach (chair person) and mayor by managing invitations to functions, hosting delegations and civic receptions, and supporting the official business of the office.
Local authorities support councillors in their role as elected representatives and policy makers by providing information about day to day local authority services, responding to questions and notices of motion, and supporting their work on council committees.
