The Regional Authority is assisted by two committees, namely an Operational Committee and an EU Operational Committee on matters relating to its functions.

The Operational Committee is chaired by the Cathaoirleach (Chairperson) of the Regional Authority and is composed of senior management from the constituent local authorities and other relevant public sector agencies operating in the region. It helps prepare the work of the Regional Authority and assists and advises it on matters relating to its functions.
