Similar to most Counties in Ireland, Limerick is broken down into City Council and County Council governing bodies. Limerick City Council, in common with all local authorities, is constantly evolving and has skillfully adapted means for the purpose of meeting the challenges of a new Ireland on a world stage. The enduring ethos of this Local Government remains constant in its visionary public service work but the skills to develop, maintain and implement the public desire for good local Government are hard won. Limerick County Council is the Local Government administrative body responsible for Limerick County and comprises an elected and executive structure.
