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.
You must apply to the local authority if you want to temporarily close a road to facilitate building works, store materials, erect hoarding, fencing or scaffolding or place a crane or hoist on the road.
Local authorities, together with Fáilte Ireland and Tourism Ireland, may provide information and advice to tourists on locations, opening hours, pricing and directions to local attractions.
