Dublin City Council has a unique and critical role in local government: it is the largest local authority in Ireland, with 63 Elected Members representing and serving 588,000 people in the city area. It plays a pivotal role in the provision of services to the almost 1.5 million people in the Dublin Region, and in ensuring that the city can welcome and support a large number of visitors daily for employment, business, recreation, and tourism. Dublin City Council takes the lead role in shaping the strategic vision of Dublin as a dynamic and sustainable city and seeks to continually enhance the city’s attractiveness as a place in which to invest, to work, to live, and to visit. With an annual expenditure of almost €1.8 billion (revenue and capital) and a workforce of 6,200 (FTEs), the City Council provides a diverse, multi-layered, and evolving range of services and infrastructure to both citizens and visitors to Dublin that sustain the life of the city. These services include the provision of housing, planning, development, economic, environmental, roads and traffic, fire and emergency, leisure, cultural, and community services. Many of these services, including traffic, drainage, and fire and emergency services, are provided on a regional basis for the Greater Dublin Area. The continuing development and renewal of the city’s infrastructure, urban fabric, and facilities, in conjunction with other public authorities, is a key feature of the Council’s role and an essential support to the national economy. The Council has a critical role in supporting the economic growth and development of the city, its cultural and recreational life, and makes a major investment in social inclusion and community development through a wide range of housing, community, and area-based services.
