Local authorities, together with other agencies, may take part in the National Healthy Cities and Counties of Ireland Network through their Local Community Development Committees to promote lifelong health and wellbeing and influence national health policy.
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, together with other stakeholders, advertise job vacancies, shortlist candidates, carry out assessments and hold interviews to appoint successful candidates.
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.
