Local Government Studies

The A – Z of Irish Local Government is designed to give an overview of each of the key services, and the principal pieces of legislation underpinning the services currently being provided by Local Authorities in Ireland. The A - Z of Irish Local Government is ideal for anyone (either from a Local Authority or from an organisation associated with the Local Government sector) who wants to develop a more wide-ranging knowledge of the sector. 

Seminars cover the following areas:

• Local Government Housing Services
• Local Government Planning Services
  
• Local Government Structures, Services and Local Government Reform
• Local Government Funding and Financial Management
• Local Government Environmental Services
• Local Government Roads and Transportation Services
• Local Government Water Services

This programme addresses legislation pertaining to the areas of Housing, Planning, Environment, Water and Roads & Transportation Services.

Participants completing the programme gain a greater appreciation of the legislative process and the format and structure of legislation in Ireland. They also have an insight into how to interpret and implement the relevant legislation pertaining to their specific directorates and an understanding of the obligations, responsibilities and impacts of local authorities in implementing that legislation. The programme combines theory, to learn the Irish legal system and the general format of Local Government legislation; and practice, to understand how law is enacted, interpreted and implemented, particularly at local level.  The programme will also examine some general law issues such as injunctions, judicial review and court cases and the implications of these for local government.
