The Association of County & City Councils is a networking organisation for the councillors who form the elected councils of the thirty-four county and city councils in the Republic of Ireland. The Association organises a programme of meetings which help members give voice to current issues in council life.
The Association also lobbies central government on new policy and legislation which impact on councillors' activities.
