Local Government Management Agency

What this means

• The Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) is a public body that provides shared services, research, training and expert support to local authorities across Ireland.[source]
• It acts as a centre of expertise on local authority operations, helping councils work more efficiently and consistently across the country.[source]
• The LGMA was established by a ministerial order made under the Local Government Acts, giving it a formal legal basis for its role.[source]
• It operates as an agency linked to the Department of Housing, meaning it is accountable to that department for how it carries out its functions.[source][source]
• Because the LGMA supports all local authorities, decisions it makes about training or shared services can affect how councils deliver services to people across Ireland.[source]
