Southern Regional Assembly

The Southern Regional Assembly is one of the regional assemblies established for the regions set out in the 2014 establishment order. Regional assemblies exercise the general functions of a regional authority under the Local Government Act 1991 and functions connected with regional spatial and economic strategies, local economic and community plans, and assistance from the European Union. The director of the former Southern and Eastern Regional Assembly could stand appointed as director of the Southern Regional Assembly.

The assembly was established when the Local Government Act 1991 (Regional Assemblies) (Establishment) Order 2014 (S.I. No. 573 of 2014) came into operation on 1 January 2015. That order was made under the Local Government Act 1991.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
