A public meeting will take place this week as part of a nationwide campaign calling for increased revenue and funding powers for local authorities.
The 'More Power To You' campaign is seeking commitments from political parties, and candidates in the upcoming council elections, on a range of local government reforms covering waste, water, housing, and energy services.
The campaign is calling for legislative changes to facilitate directly-elected mayors and restore and expand town councils, which were abolished in 2014.
The public meeting will take place in the Fórsa office, Ice House, Fish Quay, Sligo on Thursday 2nd May at 6pm.
Fórsa Campaigns Director Joe O'Connor says people in Ireland deserve structures and systems that deliver quality local service.
