Local Authority Accessibility


Welcome to the Good Practice in Accessibility site for Irish local authorities.

The aim of this site is to develop capacity in local authorities for implementing the National Disability Strategy. This will be facilitated in two main ways:
 
Firstly, good practice in accessibility in local authorities is showcased in our accessibility good practices page so that local authorities can learn from each other about how best to approach making their buildings, services and information accessible.
 
Secondly, practical answers to questions, not only related to accessibility, relevant to local authorities are provided in the FAQ section.

  • As a result of the 1999 referendum, Local Government is now positively recognised and supported in the most fundamental formulation of our law - Bunreacht na hÉireann.
  • Prior to the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 the administration of local affairs in Ireland was undemocratic and in a state of chaos with policy decisions made at a distance in London mostly serving the interests of landowners.
