History
Parish councils were based on Roman Catholic parishes and were operating during the Second World War Emergency.
They were set up by Muintir na Tíre ( "People of the Country" - national voluntary organisation promoting community development) as an urgent initiative to deal with the threat of foreign invasion, food shortages and unemployment.
