Ready for the whole hour? The mock board asks one question per area with nothing back until the end, then fills in the scorecard.

Each council prints its own cut of the LGMA competencies in the candidate booklet; the ones here are the 2026 Leitrim, Louth, Tipperary and Kildare wordings. Read your own booklet for the exact headings. The knowledge questions here ask about your council: answer with its real figures from its own website (budget, councillors, municipal districts, SPCs, Corporate Plan) and the review will tell you where a board would probe.
