What is the protocol for flag raising and lighting of buildings?
Laois County Council wants to participate in celebrations and commemorations in the wider community, strengthen public engagement and promote Laois, all of which can have a positive reputational impact.
This protocol sets out the criteria that must be met for lighting and flag raising to be allowed and the process through which applications can be made, considered and if approved put into effect.
Laois County Council receives multiple requests from a wide variety of organisations, charitable groups and causes each year seeking support to raise awareness on issues or support campaigns.
