The National Waste Collection Permit Office in Offaly County Council maintains a public register of all waste facility permits and certificates granted, reviewed, revoked and expired across all local authorities.
Local authorities, together with Irish Water Safety, may run lifesaver training courses, beach lifeguard academies, and safe swimming and boating campaigns to promote water safety on public beaches, lakes and waterways.
Local authorities may provide financial support to private homeowners who do not have access to a public water supply or group water scheme to bore a new well, upgrade an existing well or install a treatment system.
