Our Mission
To lead the development of South Tipperary for present and future generations.
Mandate
The role of the County Council impacts on all who live in the county in varying ways from the quality of the environment in which we live to our social, economic and cultural infrastructure.
In addition to providing essential quality services the County Council has a wider role to play in the community. As the primary elected body in the county the County Council is the only organisation with the necessary democratic legitimacy to speak for the people of South Tipperary and to represent the county in broader fora.
This advocacy and leadership role on behalf of the people and communities of South Tipperary also involves regular contact with central government, its departments and agencies and liaison with a wide range of regional organisations which impact on South Tipperary. The strong role played by the County Council in relation to operation of the County Development Board and Strategic Policy Committee system has helped to integrate the delivery of services and enhance democracy in the county. The continued development of social partnerships is now, more than ever, an important part of the way we operate.
South Tipperary County Council also has an overall responsibility to the people it serves. In this regard it is vital that we work in close co-operation with our colleague local authorities of Clonmel Borough Council and the Town Councils of Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary and Cashel for the delivery of quality services.
