Welcome to the website of the Confederation of European Councillors.

The Confederation of European Councillors is the partnership body that comprises of over 2100 councillors of various political persuasions from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Established in October 1999, we bring together members of the National Association of Councillors (NAC), and the Local Authority Members Assciation.

The councillors represent the county, urban, town, district and borough councils across Ireland, and the Confederation aims to bring them together as a means of fostering respect and cooperation as well as working together on areas of mutual interest.

Our objectives are to develop and enhance cross-border cooperation irrespective of political or religious affiliations or racial background. We aim to extend and strengthen the links, to enhance friendship and co-operation, to promote civic leadership and dialogue and to provide an effective forum for councillors to discuss and progress political issues and cross-border and cross-community matters. With the support of the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation, our programme of events for 2004 allows us to address and understand areas of common and mutual interest on a regular basis, as well as extending and strengthening existing linkages and friendships.

Gains for DUP and SF in Northern Ireland local elections
 Voters in Northern Ireland went to the polls in May as local government elections took place on the same day as Westminster ballots.  The expected gains for the DUP and Sinn Fein materialised, and while the SDLP had what they may regard as an acceptable drop, the Ulster Unionists suffered worst.
