Local Government
Local government is a central element of the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Local Authorities in the form of Elected County and Town Councils are critical to much of the Department’s work. The Department works in partnership with local authorities to deliver on the various policy and service objectives. The Department oversees the operation of the local government system and implements policy in relation to local government structures, functions, human resources and financing.
Wexford County Council and Gorey Town Council are mandated to deliver most of the frontline services promoted by the Department.
