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 authorities publish a public register of all eligible and registered people entitled to vote in local, national and European elections and referenda.
Local authorities work with their service users to understand their needs, redesign services and develop ways to improve access to and deliver better local authority services.
Local authorities may set special speed limits near built-up areas, schools and housing estates to improve road safety for all road users. You can have an input into the proposed speed limits through consultation.
You must apply to the local authority for a permit if you want to temporarily put a skip or mobile appliance in a parking place or erect hoarding or scaffolding on a public road.
