============================================================

Paula Butterly (FG), Louth

I thank the Minister of State for his reply on behalf of the Minister, Deputy O'Callaghan. It very much reflects my own thoughts regarding these community safety partnerships. As I said at the outset, these cannot come about quickly enough. The partnerships are part of the community and policing coming together to work for the betterment of the community. Towns like Drogheda are now on the cusp of returning to their former glory. The town has always been vibrant and once attracted people from near and far. We need to get these regulations in place and get the committees and partnerships set up. We also need to follow through with the investment, which will be vital to ensure that Drogheda and Dundalk, but particularly Drogheda town receives all the investment it needs to make it a safe place and safe community to work and live in.
