Local Development Companies Network (LDCN; formerly Irish Local Development Network or ILDN) is the national representative body for Local Development Companies (LDCs) in Ireland. LDCs operate in all urban, rural and island communities and are overseen by voluntary boards that are constituted to ensure a community-led, socially inclusive focus.

Each of our member LDCs are unique and provides services that reflect the needs of their communities. Beyond the core programmes listed, LDCs also deliver national and European initiatives that enhance the development of their communities through enterprise, training, activation, education, health, and community supports. LDCN as a representative body liaises with funders and policymakers to ensure the voice of communities and programme delivery specialists are highlighted in national, regional and local community policy and provision.
