INTRODUCTION The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000 seeks to protect and improve our natural waters, including rivers, lakes, groundwater, coastal water and transitional waters. The Water Framework Directive environmental objectives are outlined in the National River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and measures to achieve them in our Programmes of Measures (POMs). In July 2014, the Department of Environment, Community & Local Government issued the European Union (Water Policy) Regulations 2014, which gave effect to a new, three-tier governance framework and placed new obligations on local authorities to co-ordinate the catchment management and public participation elements of the Water Framework Directive. To enable local authorities to meet their objectives, they have established the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) to facilitate a coordinated regional approach. Kilkenny County Council and Tipperary County Council, acting jointly, have been appointed as lead local authorities to act on behalf of all local authorities in managing this Programme. The Programme has two main elements: the Communities Team and the Catchment Assessment Team. CONTEXT LAWPRO is leading a new approach to water management in Ireland that involves coordination and close cooperation between local authorities, WFD implementing bodies and stakeholders for the development and implementation of national River Basin Management Plans. The overall aim of this approach is to protect and restore good water quality in Ireland's rivers, lakes, estuaries, groundwater and coastal waters through integrated catchment management. Achieving that aim will require active involvement of local authorities and other public bodies, water users and local communities. Implementation of the River Basin Management Plan is co-ordinated on a regional basis by the five WFD Regional and Environment Management Committees, comprising representatives of each local authority in the region and the EPA. This structure drives collaboration and integration, both within local authorities, between local authorities and externally with other public agencies. The shared service's approach to delivery includes all stakeholders through a multidisciplinary, multi-agency structure. This shared service arrangement takes account of the need to deliver maximum benefit with limited resource availability. LAWPRO ensures that its resources are utilised locally to implement the Water Action Plan 2024 and the proposed 2022–2027 River Basin Management Plan (RBMP). The strategic role of the Programme is: Where applicable, travelling and subsistence expenses necessarily incurred in the course of official duties will be refunded in accordance with the appropriate Department Circulars and other relevant guidance. If, during employment, a driving licence is revoked, even temporarily, or endorsements are received that may affect the ability to carry out duties, the Council must be notified immediately.
