Groups and Committees
The Corporate Policy Group
The Cathaoirleach of Roscommon County Council, working with the chairpersons of the Strategic Policy Committees forms the Corporate Policy Group. This group links the work of the different SPCs, acts as a cabinet, and provides a forum where policy positions affecting the whole council can be agreed for submission to the full council. The Corporate Policy Group has also been involved on an ongoing basis in the formulation of the Corporate Plan.

The Strategic Policy Committees
Roscommon County Council have established four Strategic Policy Committees as follows:
- Housing, Social, Cultural & Community Strategic Policy Committee
- Roads & Transportation & Emergency Services Strategic Policy Committee
- Planning & Economic Development Strategic Policy Committee
- Environment & Water Services Strategic Policy Committee
The Strategic Policy Committees were established in order to enhance the role of community groups and councillors in relation to the governance of the county. The Committees have played an important role in the development of the Corporate Plan and as they develop their policies, these will then be fed into the Plan as part of the annual review process. Each SPC will be supported by a Director of Service who will operate under the general direction of the committee and submit policy review papers to the Corporate Policy Group and the Council for the service or services in question.
