Local authorities may set up and support forums (groups) to work with and give a voice to migrant communities working towards achieving social inclusion, integration and participation in the local authority's decision making process.
Local authorities respond to requests from councillors and Oireachtas members on behalf of members of the public about local authority services they want to access or which may affect them.
Local authorities, together with other agencies, support interagency groups to coordinate and improve the delivery of services to members of the traveller community.
