- South Dublin County Council, (6) including the regions representative from the EU Committee of the Regions
- Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (5)
- Fingal County Council (5)
Like each Regional Authority, the DRA is assisted in its duties by an Operational Committee and EU Operational Committee.

Famous quotes containing the word authority:
“The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
