Administration, vol. 63, no. 2 (2015), pp. 14 doi: 10.1515/admin-2015-0007 Aodh Quinlivan Department of Government, University College Cork There is nothing permanent but change. (Heraclitus) Change is the common thread which runs through this special edition. The Irish local government landscape has been altered fundamentally by the Local Government Reform Act, 2014, which reduced the number of local authorities in the Republic from 114 to 31. Equally, local government in Northern Ireland has entered a new era with its 26 pre-existing councils reduced to 11 from April 2015. Both jurisdictions also had local elections in 2014, which in the case of the Republic at least produced dramatic results, with a major swing against the government parties. This edition features six articles and three forum pieces. Authors were asked to describe, monitor and comment on the recent changes in local government. Accordingly the articles have a practical, rather than theoretical, focus. The opening article by Bríd Quinn offers a useful overview of local government reform efforts, with a concentration on the period from 1971 (when the government produced a White Paper on Local Government Reorganisation) to the present day. It is clear from the various reform initiatives
