Local authorities may commission artists to create sculptures, paintings or murals which focus on the historical and cultural context of the area where they are displayed.
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 stakeholders, may run events and activities in theatre, music and film to encourage children and young people to take part in the arts.
