Cork City Local Community Development Committee and its functions in relation to the LECP. Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) were established “for the purposes of developing, coordinating and implementing a coherent and integrated approach to local and community development”. The Local Government Reform Act 2014, enacted on 27 January 2014, gives legislative effect to the commitments in the Action Programme, including the establishment of Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each local authority administrative area. The key provisions regarding LCDCs are contained in Part 6 of the 2014 Act. Part 6 inserts new sections 49A and 128A to 128F into the Local Government Act 2001. This provided for the establishment of LCDCs as committees of local authorities and their functions as part of that. ‘The Act confers responsibility for the preparation, adoption, and implementation of the community elements of the LECP on the LCDC. This includes either direct implementation or oversight of implementation in partnership with other relevant stakeholder’. (LECP Guidelines 2021)
