All [[elections in the Republic of Ireland|elections]] use the [[single transferable vote]]. [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] is divided into 166 LEAs, with an average population of 28,700 and average area of {{Convert|423.3|km2}}. The boundaries of LEAs are determined by order of the [[Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage]], usually based on lower-level units called [[electoral division (Ireland)|electoral division]]s (EDs), with a total of 3,440 EDs in the state.

As well as their use for electoral purposes, LEAs are local administrative units in [[Eurostat]] [[Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics|NUTS]] classification.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/nuts/national-structures|title=Correspondence between the NUTS levels and the national administrative units|date=11 June 2020|access-date=14 January 2022|website=[[Eurostat]]|archive-date=14 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220114114347/https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/en/web/nuts/national-structures|url-status=live}}</ref> They are used in local numbers of cases of [[COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland|COVID-19]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/356d2-minister-for-health-stephen-donnelly-td-announces-new-local-information-going-live-on-the-covid-19-data-hub/|title=Minister Donnelly announces new local information going live on the COVID-19 Data Hub|website=www.gov.ie|date=19 September 2020 |access-date=2021-02-16|archive-date=2021-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210220230508/https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/356d2-minister-for-health-stephen-donnelly-td-announces-new-local-information-going-live-on-the-covid-19-data-hub/|url-status=live}}</ref>

They came into being on 1 June 2014, ten days after the [[2014 Irish local elections|local elections]], under the provisions of the [[Local Government Reform Act 2014]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.housing.gov.ie/local-government/reform/local-government-reform|title=Local Government Reform|publisher=Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government|access-date=28 January 2014|archive-date=19 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019154407/http://www.housing.gov.ie/local-government/reform/local-government-reform|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite Irish legislation|name=Local Government Reform Act 2014 (2014 Establishment Day) Order 2014|year=2014|type=si|number=215|date=22 May 2014}}</ref> Of the 31 local authorities, 25 are subdivided into municipal districts, which comprise one or more LEA.

In 2019, [[John Paul Phelan]], [[Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage|Minister of State for Local Government and Electoral Reform]], commented in the Dáil:<ref>{{cite web |last1=Phelan |first1=John Paul |author-link1=John Paul Phelan |title=Local Government Bill 2018: From the Seanad |url=https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/2019-01-23/speech/320/ |website=Dáil Éireann (32nd Dáil) debates |publisher=Oireachtas |access-date=3 June 2019 |language=en-ie |date=23 January 2019 |archive-date=12 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230212130708/https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/debate/dail/2019-01-23/26/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
{{blockquote|Municipal districts have an extensive list of functions currently, but the situation is haphazard ... some local authorities are better at performing some functions than others. I have found that some local authorities have a strong municipal district structure, with the districts being where most of the nitty-gritty work of local authorities is done, be it roads, footpaths or lights. Some do not have that structure, though, with decisions rehashed or debated again at the councils' plenary sessions.}}
