The City Council continues to play an active role in leading and participating in Shared Service Initiatives. The City Council is the lead authority for a number of these including:

Dublin Fire Brigade: Providing a fully integrated fire, emergency ambulance and rescue service for the four Dublin Local Authorities

National Building Control Office: Providing oversight, support and direction for the development, standardisation and implementation of Building Control as an effective shared service in the 31 Building Control Authorities

Waste Enforcement Regional Local Authority for the East Midlands Region: Co-ordinating waste enforcement actions and performance for the region

National Library Management System: Enabling single membership for access to all public libraries, online library services and access to the national catalogue

Dublin Region Homeless Executive (DRHE): Providing homeless services for the four Dublin Local Authorities

Dublin Metropolitan Climate Action Regional Office: Supporting and co-ordinating climate action undertaken by the four Dublin Local Authorities

The City Council also participates in a range of other shared service initiatives with partner local authorities, for example Build-to-Share technical solutions and joint procurement, sharing in the benefits of economies of scale and efficiencies that result.
