The Delgany Community Council is an all-volunteer group of residents and businesses who work together to promote business, tourism and resident life in Delgany. 

Whether sponsoring a table quiz, clean-up day, or conducting tours and informational sessions around the village, the DCC is committed to working together to continue to welcome and establish Delgany as a destination village.  

The DCC has joined the County Wicklow Public Participation Network (CWPPN) and aspires to be an active member of the Wicklow Community on behalf of our residents.  The PPNs (Public Participation Networks) were developed in 2014 to give community and local groups voices and representation in County Wicklow.  Details of this group (CWPPN) can be found at www.wicklowforum.ie.

We have also been approved as a compliant Group A organisation with the Governance Code.  More details on that qualification can be found here.

 We welcome your input and participation.  Information regarding local schemes and development activities and Council correspondence are found on this part of the site.

 Feel free to write to the Council Chair at Chair@delgany.ie if you have issues or concerns you wish to raise with the council.  Or use the form on the Contact Us page!
