The Programme for Government contains a commitment to publish a Green Paper on Local Government in the coming months. This Paper will examine a number of issues in relation to the organisation of Irish local government including the establishment of new town councils in those towns that have shown significant population growth in recent years. The White Paper on Local Government, which will then follow next year, will outline proposed policy and associated timing in regard to its delivery.
