Regional Assemblies in Ireland

They have two main functions under this statute: to promote the co-ordination of public service provision and to monitor the delivery of European Structural and Investment Funds in the regions.

[1][2] Following a further adjustment, from 1 January 2015, there were three Regional Assemblies, each divided into Strategic Planning Committees.

The Operational Committee is chaired by the Cathaoirleach (Chairperson) of the Regional Authority and is composed of senior management from the constituent local authorities and other relevant public sector agencies operating in the region.

It helps prepare the work of the Regional Authority and assists and advises it on matters relating to its functions.

Each Regional Authority had a Director, assisted by a number of policy and administrative staff.
