Local Community Safety Partnerships
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-20
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for her response with respect to the size of counties and the idea of fora. At one stage, I was involved in five different joint policing communities and noted that local knowledge is very valuable. A lot of the work is at the level of bringing to the attention of the local authority that a streetlight is not working, for example. I am referring to low-level crime and low-level annoyance.
Could the Minister let us know the budget for the whole initiative nationally? Is there a budget set aside for it? The Minister mentioned a secretariat, the employment of people and so on. Could she outline the structure? Is there a national oversight group or body? Who do the partnerships report to?
