Your Council Day 2026, 26 June

The Local Government Management Agency is delighted to announce that Your Council Day 2026 will take place on Friday, 26 June.

Your Council Day is the national campaign coordinated by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA), supported by Ireland’s 31 local authorities, to highlight, promote and celebrate the work of local government and its positive impact on communities across the country. The Day aims to increase awareness and understanding of the wide range of services delivered by county and city councils, and the vital role they play in everyday life.

This year’s theme, Supporting Communities Every Day, reflects the breadth of work undertaken by local authorities — from essential everyday services delivered behind the scenes, to supporting communities, shaping places for the future, nurturing cultural and tourism activity, and enabling local democracy.

The Local Government Management Agency would encourage you to take the opportunity to mark Your Council Day by showcasing your work with local authorities and the positive outcomes achieved through this collaboration. Your participation will help to highlight the collective impact of local government and the partners who contribute to supporting communities nationwide.

We would encourage you, where appropriate, to:

• Share content on your social media channels to mark the Day
• Highlight initiatives, partnerships or projects delivered in collaboration with local authorities
• Use the campaign hashtags #YourCouncilDay and #DoLáSaChomhairle to join and support the national conversation.

Your Council Day is an opportunity to positively promote the work of local authorities and the many organisations and individuals who work alongside them. Dedicated staff are integral to this work, and, together, local government has a meaningful and positive impact on communities across Ireland every day.
