Citizens have a number of channels which they can use to communicate with the EU.
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are directly elected by EU citizens and it is their role to represent their local electorate at EU level.
You can find contact information for your local MEP in the following link.
http://www.europarl.ie/irish.html
You can contact the European Commission Representation in Ireland, who have offices in Dublin City Centre.
http://ec.europa.eu/ireland/contact_us/index_en.htm
For any questions on EU policies, how the EU works, or how the EU affects you, we can help at www.talktoeu.ie
Also, there is a freephone service called Europe Direct which you can call for information on EU policies and laws.
More information here : http://ec.europa.eu/europedirect/index_en.htm
You can also drop into you local direct office for information or advice in person.

Also, the Irish government plays a role central role in what decisions are taken in Europe. Irish members of the Dáil represent the government and Irish citizens in the Council of the European Union where, along with the European Parliament, decisions on EU policies are taken.
For example, if you wanted to raise an issue in relation to the environment you could contact John Gormley TD, Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
