The National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC), which is the independent oversight body for the local government sector in Ireland, published its first three reviews on Offaly County Council Cork City Council and Kerry County Council that began a new round of examining the performance of local authorities.
This new process is the result of building on tremendous work carried out by NOAC in its first cycle of reviews of all local authorities in Ireland and, allows meetings to be as open as possible and gives the public an even greater insight into the performance of their local authorities
The new Scrutiny Process includes a more detailed analysis of the performance of each local authority and a more structured format akin to the Joint Oireachtas Committees. This process also includes the recording and transcribing of meetings to this website, as well as the preparation of a report on the engagement.
