S&E Regional Assembly
The Southern & Eastern Regional Assembly was established in 1999 following the designation of Ireland into 2 regions for the purposes of EU Funding.
The Assembly is made up of 41 councillors who are nominated by their respective Local & Regional Authorities and their functions are:
- Managing and monitoring the Regional Operational Programme 2007-2013;
- Promoting the co-ordination of public services in the region;
- Monitoring & making proposals in relation to the general impact in the region of EU funding;
- Making public bodies aware of the regional implications of their policies & plans;
A Monitoring Committee, consisting of representatives of government departments meet annually to review the effectiveness and quality of the implementation of all expenditure under the Regional Operational Programme. The Regional Assembly provides the Chair and Secretariat for the Monitoring Committee of the Southern and Eastern Regional Operational Programme.
The Regional Assembly normally meets on the second Friday of every second month throughout the year at the Headquarters of the Assembly. Members of the public are premitted to attend these meetings. Members of the Assembly are nominated by the constituent Local Authorities in the Region in proportion to the size of the Local Authority’s population. To be nominated, a person must be both a member of a Local Authority and Regional Authority.
