The Southern Regional Assembly was established on 1 January 2015.[1] This followed an amendment to the Local Government Act 1991, replacing 8 Regional Authorities with 3 Regional Assemblies.

It has 33 members: 27 appointed by their constituent local authorities, and 6 as Committee of the Regions representatives.[2]

The Southern Region (coded IE05) is a NUTS Level II statistical region of Ireland.[3][4] It contains three strategic planning areas, each of which is a NUTS Level III statistical region.
