Offaly County Council has been diligently serving it citizens since its foundation on 22nd
April 1899.
Our Chief Executive, Anna Marie Delaney wishes to pay tribute to all of those who have served the people of Offaly over the past 125 years; for their dedication and commitment to the service, and for paving
the way for a better future for the faithful county.
A new publication, Celebrating 125 Years of Local Government in Offaly, has been prepared in association with Offaly History and documents the establishment of Local Government in County Offaly.
The publication also documents the first major developments in Offaly in housing, roads and other services including sanitation and electricity. It also outlines the evolution of our services and growth of our economic profile.
Offaly County Council has been in existence for the last 125 years. There has been a huge amount achieved in that time and we look forward to continuing to serve our citizens in the years ahead. A history in science, energy and connection to industry means that from the legacy of the old, comes inspiration for the new – more global and more connected but still local.
Offaly’s future is bright and we look forward to building on our achievements over the coming years.
