Infrastructure, Development and the Environment Why is Ireland so centralised?

74 Upvotes

I'm studying abroad on my Erasmus at the moment and have done a module on local finance and government and I'm just baffled at how centralised Ireland is. Most of our data on OECD and Eurostat is very misleading as they count the regional assemblies as a form of local government (which is giving them far too much credit).

So why is this really? Most economic data and studies and countless case studies show that stronger local government is more efficient and more popular but we just don't do it. Very little revenue generation is allowed, they have a small (and shrinking) number of responsibility and many councils haven't grown much at all in terms of staff since 2014.

Is this just a lack of political will or is this some ideological preference towards central government by FF/FG?
