Latest News:
Published today, the latest Local Authority Performance Indicator Report from the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC), Ireland’s independent statutory body responsible for overseeing the performance of the local government sector and assessing how local authorities’ deliver for their communities across the country, reports on 46 indicators over 11 key areas.
This is the eleventh edition of the annual report offering over a decade of data, trends and research. It provides local authorities, government departments and citizens across Ireland with a valuable benchmarking tool, enabling them to compare performance with authorities of equivalent scale and size. This year’s report, now presented in a new format, is more readable and accessible. Additionally, for the first time, NOAC has agreed with the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA) that the LGMA summary report will be published alongside, but separate from, NOAC’s report. This reflects the independent and distinct preparation processes of both documents.
