Local authorities may provide financial support to community and voluntary groups and local development companies for small infrastructural projects in eligible disadvantaged rural areas. These projects must support schools, community safety measures, the development of play and multi use game areas, and community wellbeing projects.
You can send a written complaint to the local authority if you feel you have been treated unfairly or not in line with the local authority's customer service charter.
Local authorities publish charters outlining their commitment to provide high quality customer service, the responsibilities of customers when using services, and what you as a customer may do if you are unhappy with the standard of service provided to you.
Archives Services may provide online services such as digitised archives, catalogues, presentations, papers, and educational, family and local history resources.
Public libraries may host literary festivals, poetry readings, creative writing classes, and panel discussions with authors to promote reading and writing.
Local authorities respond to requests from councillors and Oireachtas members on behalf of members of the public about local authority services they want to access or which may affect them.
Local Action Groups may provide financial support to community and voluntary groups and businesses to develop rural tourism, enterprise development, broadband and renewable energy projects to improve rural economies and the quality of life in rural areas.
