The responsibilities of the Council include:

• To collectively represent members and to act in the best interest of the members.
• To ensure good governance and to adhere to current legislative and financial obligations under the Companies Acts.
• To develop and maintain policies in relation to psychologists in Ireland.
• To further the aims and objectives of the Society in-keeping with the Memorandums and Articles and the PSI Strategic Plan.
